Jeepers creepers. Or should it be brothel creepers. Ok, listen up...this paranoia has to end. The quicker every one gets well versed in the law concerning these matters the better. You could walk down the street wearing your best smoking jacket and a tag on your penis saying 'I am headed for hot babe193 in apartment 23' and the law could not touch you. (Paranoia is a con artists best friend) It is perfectly legal to see a independent escort. Unless you are holding a paper cup or a crowbar it is perfectly legal to loiter. Instead of faffing with this nonsense put your considerable paranoid energy into making sure that the escort is of age, un trafficked and agency free. After that, you can roll free.

OK here we go:

Legal situation
Prostitution itself is not an offence under Irish law. However, the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act of 1993 prohibits soliciting or importuning another person in a street or public place for the purpose of prostitution (This offence applies to prostitute and client.). It also prohibits loitering for the purpose of prostitution, organizing prostitution by controlling or directing the activities of a person in prostitution, coercing one to practice prostitution for gain, living on earnings of the prostitution of another person, and keeping a brothel or other premises for the purpose of prostitution. Advertising brothels and prostitution is prohibited by the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act of 1994. 18 is the minimum legal age for a prostitute in Ireland (Child prostitution Legislation exists to protect persons under this age.). The Criminal Law (Trafficking in Persons and Sexual Offences) Bill 2006 recently came into force making trafficking in persons for the purpose of their sexual exploitation a specific offence, though previous legislation already covered much of this area.[4][5]
Also 2 girls working in same place is legally regarded as a brothel. But if a guy visits a "brothel" is this illegal?

But, the loitering bit probally only applies to waiting for the street escorts i'd say
But sweet, you have missed the point. The reason that escorting is legal is because it is not prostitution see coverall of paying for time and companionship- the laws you quote apply to street prostitution. This is also another good reason for clients not to ask about sexual services on the telephone.
It is illegal to visit a brothel. It is illegal to work in a brothel It is illegal to own/promote/control a brothel.

I bring one of these with me everywhere and if I'm ever accused of loitering I just stand beside it and tell them I'm waiting for a bus................................
