Our Brainless Media - Gerry Ryan & Daniel McConnell

[Patricia]

Anyone hear the Gerry Ryan show this morning?

He was talking to Independent journalist, Daniel McConnell, who was behind this recent article:

I learnt from these two that:

* The majority of escorts in Ireland offer unprotected sex for a price *

* A very large portion of Irish escorts are human trafficking victims *

* Prostitution is illegal (The only reason the guards are not doing "stings" to catch men getting escort services is that they don't have the resources.). *

Come on lads... Even the guard doing traffic stops on the Stillorgan dueller knows that prostitution is not illegal in Ireland... How can that simple fact have escaped the two of you for so long, especially given one of you has apparently just finished an "in depth investigation" into prostitution in Ireland?

Oh and Dublin magazines have "recently" stopped taking escort ads following garda action according to the Independent. Check your own newspaper Daniel, I think you'll find that was 1998's news, which was around the time you were still in national school I hope, as youth's the only excuse for such ignorance.

By the way, doesn't the Independent own the Evening Herald? If so why don't you do an investigation into your own advertising of prostitution services? Here is a link to get you started https://www.escort-ireland.com/board...ead.php?t=3791
