Gardai start implimenting "zero tolerance " to kerb crawling!

[Ebony Amber]

Well if the government done things correctly I would suggest this...

Make prostitution fully legal in an area of Dublin! Have a police station located there also... so it is safe for the working girls! The girls on the street could get jobs there, not just selling sex but also answering phones and taking appointments etc for other girls...

Centers could be set up in the area for girls who want to leave the industry also or offer up counseling...

The government doing things correctly. LOL

I know amber, sadly they care more about votes and staying in the hot seat rather than taking risks and helping working class like us!

I remember after the murders in IPSWICH the ladies working on the streets were given jobs in massage parlors, it cleaned up the streets and gave the girls somewhere safe to work from, its a shame parlors aren't over here because if they were allowed they could implement something similar over here

Is eliminating street prostitution not a great thing??????! at a loss to see how this is a bad thing!!

stopping independent girls from apartments is bad for us alright but clean up the streets!!

I personally don't like the idea of street prostitution but by purely making it illegal isn't going to help. I'm at a loss of what to do but these ladies need to work somewhere

Here's the link to the newspaper article http://www.examiner.ie/ireland/garda...es-157738.html (Cortesy of Conrad de Montferrat)

Eliminating street prostitution may be good thing (although as Amber points put - not so good for the girls working the streets). It would be fine if the aim was to move prostitution/escorting indoors. However, I seriously doubt that this is the intention.

What concerns me is the trend /progression. This operation targeted clients and actually charged them. To add insult to injury, the fines they payed went to Ruhamma!!!! Also it was a sting operation with female garda specifically setting up a trap for potnetial punters.

As mentioned above, I'm not pushed that the Garda are tackling street prostitution, but I fear that this is just a first step to eliminate all forms of escorting. Of course the legislation will have to be changed but that is what Ruhamma and the TORL campaign have been pushing incessantly. And they have very strong political backing.

I wonder how long it will be before the Gardai start putting up fake ads on E-I to entrap potential clients?

They will never eliminate escorting in Ireland but will make it a lot harder for all of us. I will do what I've always done - stick to ladies with plenty of reviews and verified photos.

One good bit of news is that there aren't going to be any more new gardai over the next two years!! I hope common sense will prevail and that the gardai will concentrate their efforts on real crime. Now if only we can stop the lies being spread by Ruhamma/TORL!

never one kerb crawling, would be shitting it

I dont like the idea of street girls unless its an out of the way non residential area. Sure people have a reasonable right for a bit of fun but not on some poor family's doorstep. The online system is the way to go. That should be left alone.

Maybe I am wrong, but I have always felt that "Street Workers" in the main are more controlled and exposed to violence by pimps etc. I know there have been cases of brothels been operated in apartments/houses, but again it is more difficult to do and as such is a safer option for all concerned.

It's ironic how the gardai have turned gamekeeper! When I first came to Dublin there were brothels everywhere, disguised as Massage Parlours - and the best customers were gardai. I feel really sorry for the streetwalkers though - most of them are drug addicts who need to work go get money for their fix. And it's typical of ********** and Ruhama who are only interested in getting these girls off the street, but don't give a damn about their welfare. The street girls just can't afford to rent fancy apartments to work from.
