I never really thought about it before because I always agreed with them, they are a good deterrent and if necessary protection for the ladies but are they legal?
If a problem did arise would they cause more harm than good. Most I would imagine are just big guys picked out for their physical size but how many of them are actually registered security guards which is a legal requirement in this country. If they did have to man handle a guy out of the premises could they not be open to prosecution for assault. Also would the extra person working on the premises make it a brothel in Irish law?
Just a few concerns I would have, I suppose I am warning the ladies to make sure the guys they are using are registered, the last thing you would want is a guy pressing charges or worse again, him getting away with assaulting you because of a technicality..
