Yes, and the programme last night was only about prostitution in Ireland in the 1800s / early 1900s, not modern day! Next weeks programme will be about prostitution in Ireland today I think.

I think we should also clarify that the programme last night was about prostituition in Ireland many, many years ago, in case anyone here who didn't see the programme is reading this thread and thinking it showed shocking current material about prostitution in Ireland and STDs!

Of course STDs are still an issue today, but I don't think we should be relating too much to what was shown in that program last night, as it was about how things were back in the 1800s / early 1900s and things have changed considerably since then!
