Sex For Rent Legislation In Effect In Ireland

from Clare FM · host Clare FM

A new law has come into effect making the offering of sex in exchange for rent a criminal offence in Ireland.  Campaigners have welcomed the legislation as a major step forward in protecting vulnerable people, particularly women who may be at risk of exploitation while searching for accommodation.   However, many say the work doesn't end there, with calls for greater public awareness, Garda training and stronger enforcement of the new law.   To discuss what this legislation means and why it's so significant, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bridget Barron, President of Ennis & District Soroptimists, and Aisling Nolan, National Communications Officer with Soroptimist Ireland.
