There would have been something in the paper as was the case in NI. Nothing yet
IIRC there was an official grace period after the law had passed in Nordieland and even after that the PSNI stated that this law needed time to settle before it could be enforced! This dovetails with the notion that the law up there was about changing attitudes in particular those of clients towards purchasing sex!
Down south it's primarily about making sex workers suffer!
And it will be enforced!
And in so far as it's about changing attitiudes towards sex work down south it's about stigmatising sex work further!

Laura Lee said on the recent radio interview, which I started a thread on, that The PSNI have been ok in enforcing this law and have even allocating 2 liason officers to sex workers to help ensure its impact on them is minimized. However she states (and this was before this law was passed down here) that the Guards have been involved in rapes, robberies and general assaults of sex workers in The Republic and given recent controversies including vicious thuggery and rape threats by them in Rosport and beatings and general harrassment of water tax protesters, how can anyone be surprised at this?

Ah yeah ! though you'd imagine that an ECHR judgement on the issue (which would prob centre on whether prostitution qualifies as 'work' thereby requiring minimum health and safety rights) would actually go someway to eventually prioritise the safety of the women which they want.
