Wasnt there a chap in prison in Wales at the mo, for trafficking escorts into Ireland? Are links to gutter press allowed here?

You are talking about 1 case from a few years back. I'm saying I'd like to know more than that. I'm not going to judge that all agency escorts in Ireland are working under the conditions of 1 case a few years back. I want to know more.

I didnt judge them by that though Pat. You asked why people would have that impression. The press is the main reason. I gave one example, there are several more.

Prostitution itself is legal, but soliciting in a public place, driving around slowly to pick up prostitutes, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and facilitating contact with prostitutes is against the law. In Britain, Wales and Northern Island, it’s also illegal to have sex with a prostitute who had been forced into that line of work — even if the customer had no idea the prostitute was working against his or her will.
