I thank Ms Stapleton for her presentation. Why does she think that in Limerick there is such a high level of prostitution compared to other cities? She pointed out at the beginning of her presentation that there were significant levels of prostitution in Limerick. I remember the Garda operation of approximately two years ago. I spoke to a businessman in the vicinity of the location of the swoop and he was of the view that come 6 p.m. or 7 p.m., he could not do business owing to the fact that the streets were filled with people looking for prostitutes and involved in the prostitution business. Why Limerick? Is there a particular reason?
