Gardaí questioned 36 people over the weekend on suspicion of purchasing sex, an act outlawed in 2017 legislation.

As part of Operation Quest, gardaí conducted a coordinated, intelligence led campaign on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The intelligence led operations was conducted across six garda divisions nationally, both urban and rural. These included the Dublin Metropolitan Region North, Dublin Metropolitan Region East, Dublin Metropolitan Region South Central, Wexford, Louth and Kildare.

“During the course of this intelligence led operation, 36 individuals where stopped and spoken to by members of An Garda Síochána, arising from suspicion of having purchased sexual services from an individual involved in prostitution,” the garda said in a statement on Monday afternoon.

As a result a series of files have been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

The Operation Quest team is run by the Garda National Protective Services Bureau, in liaison with local detective units.

“This operation reinforces An Garda Síochána’s commitment to target the demand for prostitution and to protect vulnerable persons, including victims of human trafficking involved in prostitution.”

The purchase of sex was made illegal following the introduction of the 2017 Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act.

This to me is the main focus of the operation, i doubt that independent escorts keeping a low profile were targeted.

As posted over and over again,stick to escorts who are clearly independent, stay well away from low priced escorts, not rocket science.

You don't know thé facts yet. Could be
far broader than that. This is a very serious development.

The role of the Garda is to enforce the law no matter where you choose to shop._.The number stopped was higher than reported._.These 36 are the ones whos statements can be admissible as evidence._._._._.Turn off the blue lights.

So you have that from a Garda source, that 36 statements are admissible as evidence?

Very worrying times... mind your phones -browsing history etc if stopped. Guards have wide ranging powers under new legislation even could technically finger print notes in escorts possession and DNA too from rubber condiments if they are that way inclined

The best part of articles like that are the comments below them. I’d say poor Veronica never got a decent ride in her life. A little disappointing the accompanying photo isn’t of a woman in over the knee boots bending over, looking in a car window, but you can’t have everything.

Funny the guards were so busy nabbing random punters they had no time to follow up on an escort reporting a client stalking her for four days, making multiple death threats, impersonating a guard, and causing so much trouble for her he got her evicted.

Despite her having video evidence and recordings of all of this, and the guy having a history of doing the same to escorts before. Visit them and then afterward demand his money back or be faced with harassment and stalking making it impossible to work.

Too busy, the poor guards, our taxes hard at work, saving fallen women.

It is Mate, as my friend message me to say he watch it tonight on Crimecall on Rte 1.

This I feel is pressure from government to Gardai, to step up the pursuit of the law they implement in 2017. Even two of my Mate's have stop punting, because of been in relationship.

Just be extra discreet for clients, which nothing is a guarantee. But I'll think I may stick to the long chat in company of Escorts
