garda were watching it for 3 weeks!!
Did all of Moy Ross's troubles suddenly go away? The wars, shootings, stabbings, muggings etc.. The money could have been for their families back home. many women turn to escorting to make a quick buck to send money home for family. They don't enjoy it, but it's money and money buys food etc.
Yes, it was probably a safety issue staying together, but gardai can lie in court too, so the Judge will believe any codswallop they say. "blah blah organised criminals bla blah blah" etc, yes, there are probably criminals running such operations, but not ALL brothels are run by pimps.
And another thing that should be remembered. If you remove all the escorts out of the country because they make money and the guards are obviously jealous because the girls make more than them, you INCREASE the likelihood of rape. You don't hear much about rape anymore on the news, why? Because probable rapists, can now just go to an escort for sex and pay and they get what they want for 30 mins or whatever, whereas before, if we were to depend on irish women, we would all be masturbating ourselves to death and some guys would probably snap and then rape someone.
Gardai can be so stupid sometimes. Some of them work with pimps (as in Athlone) and some think they are doing the right thing and they just cause other different crimes.
