Escorts in Drumcondra in trouble?

[carlos marvado]

If the reports in other threads of increased Garda activty are correct then I believe
its possible that elements in the state and/or Garda leadership.
may be conspiring to reduce escort activty in the state in order to prevent
money leaving state, bear with me...

The escort industry to Ireland is an import.
Very few Irish escorts and even forgien escorts who are resident will leave
after a period taking their savings with them.
Lets make the following ball-park assumputions
80% of money punters spend on escorts leaves country
and this is 100 million( i am just picking this out of air)
If thru garda raids escort activity was reduced by 50 million.
That would be 50 million in country which punters could spent on Irish products.

Reducing escort activty by about 50% would be something I would look into if I was in power
The amount of garda resources required to do this would be quite low.
Of course if they taxed and regulated they could make money from it but that
would be unaccepatble to majority of public.

I have a different theory.........maybe a hornet's nest got stirred up and the right wing catholic's who have an inherited sexual guilt complex (except where the shagging of young children is concerned) are now responding.

You could of course be correct whiteknight.......but I would view the powers that be as being too thick to appreciate the economic implications of anything.

whiteknight, they are always trying to do this. Nobody woke up and realised it yesterday.

Forget pulling numbers out of nowhere, these things reach a balance. There'll always be a hardcore group of prostitutes and punters that will operate no matter how many resources they put into it, so they can forget about them, they would operate no matter what even in the Victorian era. There'll always be a not quite as hardcore but very hard to stop bunch as well so barring a return to a Victorian-style government they won't get those either.

So like everything else, they just put as many resources into it as they think will work, and not cause too much commotion and stepping on people. You talk about "very little resources", but then again the gardai generally don't want to be going around acting like fuck-ups and hurting their own people for no good reason at all, because it's wrong... and the police could be brought to court and made to look like stupid bastards and sued. So there reaches a balance.

not news unf there have been raids in galway, roscommon, tullamore and carlow; cops find this easier to proscute than tackling armed gangs and drugs gangs....

yeah and arresting a semi naked 8 stone woman is a lot less dangerous than arresting a 16 stone psycho who probabily has a carving knife or glock in his waistband , talk about getting your priorities right.

Thats bad form Carlos, its nothing got to do with Catholics. Alot of people have an insatiable appetite for gossip, news and bad news. Unless its a huge apartment complex with ALOT of residents its going to be abit obvious especially if escorts stay in the same apartment for many weeks or even months

Since roscommon there are afew fine gael twats who are bringing alot of attention to it and asking the government and gardai to monitor and "tackle" it. The way they see it is, although theres many quality independent escorts out there, theres also tons of dodgy agency pricks involved in it too so in tackling these agencies they will sometimes come in contact with non-agency girls but the lady above made a great point, its most likely these agency groups who are trying to wipe out the competition and control their "own turf". its known to happen alot in places like limerick, louth, belfast and athlone for example. Afew tough guys running the whole show and frightening every independent escort away.
