Legalisation.

Waterford T. D. John Halligan, has called for a rational debate on the future of '' Prostitution '', including the possibility of legalisation.
A lone voice, crying in the wilderness, no doubt.

The thought had crossed my mind!

Clearly that's meant as a complement.

I was watching the tail end of TVAM this morning on TV3 and the comperes felt that legalization for the protection of sex workers was the way to go and criminalizing clients did not protect sex workers at all and the viewers' comments also tended to support Mr. Halligan T.D., who will be interviewed by the show on Monday!

The opposition to the insanity seems to be grown, with John Halligan, PBP, Claire Daly, Mick Wallace and The Greens (their new T.D. has strongly questioned Fitzgerald about it) opposing it. It's a real pity that the rubbish in the Labour Party (though Howlin has criticized the insane FF proposal to confiscate escorts' earnings) and the Socialist Party and The Shinners seem to be gagging for it to be introduced!

SF voted for it up North so not likely to change their minds. There will be a big vote to pass it because of the party whips but opposition may slow it down and perhaps introduce some amendments and maybe a decision to review it after 3 years. Sadly boys and girls its on its way. But does anybody out there want to challenge it in the courts down here?

Is pissed me off this comment : Same could be said for cannabis, you're not going to stop people using it, so legalise it tax it and regulate it. I personally don't see why there is a need for people to use prostitutes unless they aren't attractive to begin with. Other wise they wouldn't need to pay for it which I find disgusting and repulsive. If you legalise it, human trafficking will actually likely increase as they will be "open for business".

So is not a stigma attached to escorts but is a stigma attached and to our clients too. So they are all not good looking in vision of this retard who commented( i have a feeling is a woman who comment) . There are tons of clients good looking stupid bitch who posted this comment , guys have many reasons to visit escorts not being good looking not being between reasons. u find disgusting paying an escort? i find disgusting paying all expenses for your gf and get sex once in a 3 months and i find disgusting people liek u who judge other people decisions and life.

What is their problem?

You'd bring in something like the New Zealand system. The ladies register and so you can tell if they are trafficked or not. You have mandatory health checks.

They then pay tax on their net earnings. Everything is above board.

Compare to they way they set up "Irish water", and it should be very easy, much cheaper and earn more for the state.
