My next question relates to the study carried out by the delegation. The presentation referred to a one-size-fits-all reason. We need not go into too much detail. The delegation carried out a baseline study in 2007. One of the key findings related to research into trafficking and lap dancing in Ireland. I am interested to hear the facts about it. The delegation referred to women's experience and that the degrees of choice were diverse. I am keen for the delegation to explore this with the committee in order that we are aware from the delegation's point of view that there is no single, one-size-fits-all reason why women enter prostitution.
