In my own experience be polite, keep you answers short and to the point and keep quiet after that. Don't invite them in and you can leave them at the door so you can check their credentials by pining the station.

Bronte you say...
It is an offence in Ireland for escorts to advertise the escort services they provide.
But what can they actually charge you with?
If they were to charge you it would be with violating Section 23 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act of 1994.
If you read that section it's pretty clear that the intent was to outlaw advertisers, i.e. magazines like In Dublin or sites like this one. I don't think it was intended to criminalise escorts who advertise, but it could be used that way. It would be good to know if any escort has ever been charged under Section 23.
“I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make one quite giddy!”
“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

Thanks for that Gordo, yes I think your right in saying that they are not really after the escorts but the publishers etc.
Would be interesting to know if any ladies have been charged.

Bronte does this help? And hi btwxxx
It is not illegal to advertise the services of prostitutes as long as the website is based outside the State.
This means that websites advertising the services of literally hundreds of women and brothels are untouchable as long as they are hosted, for example, in Britain.
The gardaí had a degree of success when the now-defunct magazine In Dublin published thinly disguised advertisements for escort agencies — especially as mobile phones were not common and so the brothels had to list traceable landlines.
It was an advertisement; it was concrete proof.
However, now the advertiser is anonymous, British-based and immune from attention.
The women who advertise their photographs, the bewildering array of services they offer and the exorbitant prices (up to €400 an hour) are much harder to track because they are only contactable by a pay-as-you-go mobile number.
They can move around, change cities, always one step ahead of the law.
In addition, the hundreds of women who operate on their own have even more protection under Irish law.
It is not illegal to have sex for money.
It is not illegal to be a prostitute.
It is illegal to stand on the street and offer sex, but if a man meets a woman after making contact with her by phone and pays to have sex with her in a place where there are no other prostitutes present, it does not constitute a brothel and neither party has committed a crime.
The loophole means anyone with access to a computer can log on to the internet, do a simple search and within minutes make an appointment to have sex for money, all without any fear of prosecution.
The 2005 Garda Commissioner’s Report, the latest information available, shows that in that year proceedings were instituted against 57 people for either soliciting or picking up prostitutes.
There were 14 convictions, seven cases withdrawn, and the rest of the cases were pending.
The law which governs prostitution in this country is outdated and is allowing a small number of people to make massive amounts of money out of others.
