Dr. Kathryn McGarry:
My doctoral research was an in-depth qualitative study that involved approximately 25 qualitative interviews, 13 of which were with sex workers in the Irish sex industry. Eleven of those workers were street-based, one had experience of working in brothels in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and another sex worker was called a "touring escort", in that she worked around Ireland for certain periods before returning home.
