Has the new law come into force yet?

[meatloaf2]

The gardai appear to be busy using up a million breath tests atm, mostly breathalising drivers that they know have not been drinking. Don't expect they will be going after the pimps and traffickers, they will be going after the easiest targets, the clients.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had checkpoints outside the apartments and started dipping our cocks coming out of to see if they'd been used recently

I have just read the most relevant article on The Journal

From the article
Comment

NEW LAWS DESIGNED to protect prostitutes by criminalising the buyers of sex came into force today much to the relief of a number of organisations.
The problem is that Swedish-style Legislation does not protect Sex Workers, it actually does quite the opposite. And as can be read further in the article, this new Legislation is certainly not to the relief of Sex Workers themselves.

From today, the law will instead focus on the pimps and traffickers who currently profit to the tune of €250 million from the sex trade,” she added.
I thought Denise and her cronies were hell-bent on criminalizing clients of Sex Workers???? Furthermore, where did Ms Charlton come up with the figure of €250 million? She must be friendly with a few traffickers and/or pimps to acquire that sort of information.....
Leaving that aside; very robust anti-pimping Legislation has been in place all along.
And, in addition, a market for blackmail and/or extortion will now present itself as a result of this ridiculous new Law (think about it )

Spokeswoman Kate McGrew said: “The Government’s moral crusade was driven by ideology not evidence. National and international expert groups provided clear evidence that criminalisation of the purchase of sex is not only ineffective but would be harmful to the health and safety of sex workers across Ireland.
In addition to all of the well-documented negative implications of Swedish-style Legislation, it is likely that many clients whom suspect Sex Workers are in danger will now most likely be reluctant to come forward to report any concerns which they may have to Gardai for fear of implicating themselves in committing a crime. This is certainly a major problem in Sweden, and was also highlighted by key PSNI Officers prior to the introduction of exactly the same Law in Northern Ireland.

I believe they are working on that one, soon the only legitimate sex in this country will be limited to procreation between married couples that say a full rosary beforehand and go to confession immediately afterwards.
Dammed religious institutions will never forgive us for messing with their sex lives.

Here its all about money specific incoming to revenue with fines... is not about protecting escorts or stop 'trafficking' what a joke


''if someone (a client) will take it to the court the case will not stand a chance this law as is difficult to prove they paid for ,,,anything unless he pay an undercover garda. the law is full of hole, they rushed, to quick to much and the result was this broken law''

- one of my regular client a lawyer said ...

''they rely on the thing that guys will prefer to pay the fine rather then go public in the court ,because in the court the client will win because the law is full of 'holes' ''

.. and with transport to be illegal to transport an escort? what a good joke. then bus companies will have no more clients as most of escorts travel with bus ... or they ment if u know u transport an escort u comit an offence.. but what happen if u dont know?

This is exactly what happens in Sweden, clients are harrassed into paying an on the spot fine, rather than end up in court!
