POLITICIANS considering putting the squeeze on prostitutes have been urged to back off — by a leading escort agency.
TDs and senators mulling over new laws to outlaw punters paying for sex have even been invited to visit the offices of Escort Ireland.
The web firm banged in a lengthy appeal to the Leinster House committee looking at a legal shake-up.
Their submission states: “We believe there is nothing wrong with someone paying for sexual services and most clients are decent people.
“We don’t think adults should be prosecuted for privately paying other consenting adults for sex.” Escort Ireland, which by-passes a ban on advertising sex services by operating from the UK, warned against driving the business underground. They added: “We feel the views of sex workers are the views that need to be heard more than any others.”
Justice and Equality Committee member and Fine Gael TD David Stanton said: “The committee should be careful about what weight it affords certain submissions like this one.
“
There are all sorts of people involved in prostitution and they have their own agendas.”
But committee colleague and Independent TD Finian McGrath said: “
I am opposed to anyone who profits from prostitution but their views have to be taken into account.”
Around 1,000 women are offered for sex every day through the internet in Ireland.
