I welcome the people from Turn Off the Red Light. I completely oppose their position and suspect their motivation. The information supply has been disastrous. Senator Bacik spoke about social workers in Sweden. Attempts were made to silence a considerable number of social workers in Sweden who have spoken out and given statements contradicting the position of Turn Off the Red Light. There is something incredibly patronising about people defining somebody as a victim despite that they do not feel they are a victim. They have no right to say they are not a victim. I welcome the Cathaoirleach's guidance on the matter. I am opposing the section, so I presume I do not speak until the section comes up for discussion.
