Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2013)

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: We are trying to get our heads around this. Mr. Quinlan's final comment was on adults and consensual sex, whether those adults are paying for it or otherwise. I am looking at the consensual point. Is a person being consensual if he or she is forced into this work simply because there are no other opportunities? Is one consensual if somebody else is controlling one's actions, for whatever...

In Mr. Quinlan's opinion how many of the 2,000 men he knows who are selling sex wish to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Review of Legislation on Prostitution: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2013)

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: The presentation states the MSM buying and selling of sex are very much part of the gay and bisexual community scene. What I am trying to tease out is whether it is an acceptable part of it, or something that is hidden? For example, if a heterosexual seeks a prostitute but does not want his wife to find out about it, it happens underground and is not acceptable to many. Is the buying and...

We need to get this right because we have had a history of poor planning decisions with which many of our people are now living as a result of the corrupt activities of some people.
