Bill to criminalise clients will be published tomorrow

To be honest I don't. I think Joe blogs punter thinks they are breaking the law already.

Anyway as some people keep pointing out on here there are more escorts advertising in Sweden since the draconian law came in up there.

That may have been the case years back but not now, people are more clued up now. I don't think you can compare The Irish to the Swedish even when its comes to sex.
Irish is one of the most expensive countries with Escorts charging quite a lot and are guys going to still pay the price for an illegal activity, again Its the Irish we are talking about.
Only time will tell

The Irish are so different from to other countries, they're Sheep, look when the austerity measures were brought in and they just accepted them without a fight while Greece did the opposite, they went on the warpath and put up a fight....

And Greece has achieved little and still have to accept austerity to keep the outside funding needed to keep their banks open and their government employees and state pensions paid .Other than some of the population blowing off some steam , Greece has achieved little financially.

F. Fitzgerald publishing her sexual offences bill in Dáil today , I believe.
Don't panic, another little while yet , before it will be signed into law.

Tbh, the whole purpose of the law is geared to decimate brothels - almost all the police resources & attention will be directed at them - enter the premises and every single person present gets a court appearance male or female .
There'll be little attention paid to discreet independents working in hotels unless they become too much of a nusiance.

Hopefully by xmas, the NI High Court will have issued a strike down on the NI law and so focus can go to challenging the law in the South.

Would be genuinely shocked if the law could pass muster in the Courts as the law criminalises one specific motive of consenting adults to engage in sex - presumably the State's case would centre around the issue of 'freely given consent' , which of course then undermines the integrity of 'consent' we all give in relation to ordinary mainstream labour.

Worth donating to Laura Lee's case (her GoFund me is available on the forum) & look forward to having the law overturned.
