Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)
2:45 pm
Mr. Fergus Healy:
I will not discuss specific issues. There is evidence to suggest that people have left the industry with the co-operation of Ruhama and the Garda. The services provided by Ruhama are a great support. When we deal with incidents at 4 a.m. Ruhama is available to come to our assistance which in itself is a very valuable facility. I compliment the work of Ruhama and its co-operation with us in this area.
