Has anyone found out the reasoning behind the decision to hold this session in private? Will future sessions be held in private too?

Funny thing, Rachel is one of the very few people I have never really caught out distorting the truth about anything. Far too blunt for most people's liking if anything.Originally Posted by EbonyAmber

I have a complaint formally acknowledged by the committee about that. It was a shoddy tabloid documentary made for a series that had already been cancelled due to an absence of integrity. It only aired because it was already pretty much in the can, had cost money and would attract ratings.
For their next trick they will have Paul Reynolds in at that rate.
Incidentally the only reason for the week's delay is that several committees cancelled to attend the funeral of that poor guard that was murdered.

Fully agree with you Brock, it's a disgrace that these organisations are even give air time let alone a significant role in any legislation. All this on the day when the Mcaleese report is due out.
Magdalene laundries == A religious answer to a secular problem.
TORL == A secular answer to a religious problem.
And all with the compliance of the Irish state

Take two steps back Brock...can you honestly say you would pay any attention to a documentary about something you had little interest in and knew nothing about that was that one sided?
I have a bit more faith in the common sense and intelligence of ordinary people than that. The only credibility that documentary has is in the way TORL and now the Justice Committee are hyping it...
THEY BROADCAST FILM OF WOMEN IN A STATE OF UNDRESS WITHOUT PERMISSION!
But they did not once ask them if they would like to make a statement through an interpreter - they just interpreted their reactions to being confronted by an (apparent) messer with nutcase potential asking them if they were trafficked and giving them cards for Ruhama that most escorts know to avoid at all costs - and why.
The RTE Primetime team treated sex workers as animals, not people...

They will show how sex workers answer the phone for a booking , which is discreet ,there is no issue, or is it?!
The girls "pimped" are getting in the car, moving around on free will, I havent seen any of them forced to do so .. That guy accused to be the pimp, in any moment was approached by the police, only the girls were in trouble.
The xxx agency, or whatever was called , again , nothing of coercing there.
I wonder what the Committee have in mind about agencies , now illegal..

You know, I was going around the supermarkets next day with my Uncle pointing out ordinary, everyday scenes we could film and pass off as evidence of "trafficking" there were an unlimited amount...
It is all an art an science that can be learned...
You could film you and I RIGHT NOW...typing, as we are, where we are (in the Penney's PJsor worse) and, depending on the editing and voice over, present the same footage as evidence that we are:
- Modern saints in the making
- Involved in international espionage
- X factor contestants
- About to give birth
- Your choice
Politicians are supposed to be politicians because they are AT LEAST smart enough to see through that game.
