'Garda crackdown on Galway races prostitution'

[The Libertarian]

We hear that at this time every year! It might be the local Pigz feel they have to be seen to do something at least once a year, so they put out a warning that they may act!
I can absolutely guarantee you that the Pigz in Galway have the easiest time of any equivalent group of so called law officers in any urban area of equivalent size in Europe! Indeed other pigz take a very cynical view of them, they're known as extremely work shy, oh, they will go after easy fines alright!
I have never heard of any raids related to this time of year in Galway making it to the courts!
You can be certain that copious amounts of the devil's dandruff will be snorted by the great and the good over the coming few days in Galway at top notch hotels and not a single thing will be done about it! Why? Because the pigz especially in Galway are very well aware that their main function is the protection of the very same 'Great and Good' and to police everyone else!

Yip, at least one case makes it to court every year since I started punting. Just last year (maybe the year before) a bevy of Romanian girls were brought before a judge and sent home after being raided.

The thing about the Galway Races raids is that they seem to be at the same location year after year (regular Galway punters know where I'm talking about).

There is one or two locations in Galway I wouldn't visit even at the quietest times of year. If the local johns have any sense they will avoid these places. I'm seeing a girl this week but it will be at her private apartment.

Next week normal service will be resumed and we can wait until the 2015 races before the next furore over Galway escorts.

I am sure there will be the annual Rose of Tralee crackdown as well.
