Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed)
2:55 pm
Mr. Fergus Healy:
Given the nationality of some of those involved, they may leave the jurisdiction. Subsequently, a warrant may be issued for them and the case goes into limbo until such time that the person is apprehended. There are various reasons why we have this attrition rate. It is mainly due to the transient nature of the industry and those in it.
