The opening line of the documentary is “Business is booming in Ireland...”, a clear sign of how old this piece of “unbiased” journalism is! I appreciate that many of you have seen this before but it was the first time for me.
I thought ironically, this documentary actually defends the escorting industry in Ireland! The three ladies whose privacy was invaded by secret cameras, all came across as independants who were doing this of their own free will. All three were very relaxed and came across very well even though they didn’t know they were being filmed.
The one escort who knowingly gave an interview even stated she felt she was providing a service. And again clearly was doing this job by choice.
There was only one underage Nigerian girl who had been trafficked/ kidnapped by a fellow Nigerian woman and forced into prostitution. And she was saved by....surprise, surprise – a punter!
The garda sergeant who was being interviewed stated that he had no evidence of widespread trafficking in Ireland.
Unfortunately, people will interpret this the way they want. Ruhamma (who actively participated in the documentary) will no doubt start another wave of anti-escorting campaigns. My only consolation and hope is that the garda won’t have the financial resources to waste on the activities of consenting adults.
James Cork got a mention, in case any of you missed it! Apparently he is the biggest pimp in Munster!! And he’s known as Mr. Big!!! The ladies must be talking again...lucky sod! (I’m not jealous!!!)
