Dr. Gillian Wylie:

Absolutely. During the research we interviewed members of the Garda Síochána and we heard about diverse experiences. There were women who flew in from other EU states to work in lap dancing to fund education for their children at home. There were women who did not consider themselves to be exploited and returned to the lap dancing industry when they could. There were others who had experiences of duress. That diversity is there and it is recognised broadly in international research as well.
