Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion
2:35 pm
Ms Jacqueline Healy:
There was a well-publicised raid recently where gardaí entered premises where prostitution was taking place. That sent out a strong message to the public, showing that prostitution is exploitative and that vulnerable people are involved. Resources must be put in place. That is a worthwhile exercise to send out a message about prostitution.
