Some trafficked sex workers are being forced to pay €1,000 per week for use of apartments in Irish towns, cities and villages - often on top of a €1,000 monthly fee. It is understood garda detectives are investigating a number of Irish property owners.

SOME TRAFFICKED SEX workers are being forced to pay €1,000 per week for use of apartments in Irish towns, cities and villages – often on top of a €1,000 monthly fee.

The brothels used by these gangs are staffed almost exclusively by a transient workforce of sex workers trafficked into Ireland. In some cases the crime gang will pay the initial €1,000 and then charge the women €1,000 per week. In other cases the woman may be forced to pay the entire €5,000.Garda investigations have determined, over a number of years, that there was a predominance of Romanian and Albanian organised crime groups involved in the industry. Chinese, Hungarian, Brazilian and trafficking gangs from Eastern Europe have also established a foothold in recent years.

“In the past, this would’ve been a cash-only trade. But the criminals now see the benefit of apps being used – they can track their money better.“Gardaí have found cases where a single sex worker would have been making around €5,000 for two weeks’ work but she gets a tiny fraction of that and it is all controlled by the gang leaders,” a source explained.

“It is difficult to ascertain the true number of people trafficked in Ireland as the current system makes it incredibly difficult to identify victims of human trafficking. The spokesperson said it was an intelligence-led, targeted series of operations to protect those in the sex trade, across 16 Garda Divisions in all four provinces.

I thought trafficking was illegal. There's these blow in hookers whining about the cost of living and the authorities don't arrest the traffickers?

Time for Gardai to close and seize

'being forced to pay' - its called rent for a commercial activity

I'll take , 'what does unfettered access to a country by economic migrants result in?' For 400 Euro

They are victims of trafficking forced/coerced into prostitution, not 'sex workers', and their clients are rapists.

irelandforall ireland4all are always awfully quiet when it comes to the subject of people trafficking aren't they 🤔

Ye. Kildare.

It's neither 'sex' nor 'work' esp when the woman is trafficked. It's 'rape' and 'trafficking'. The language matters. Both victims themselves, NGOs, and society are less likely to recognize harm if it's dressed in pretty language. Call things what they are not what feels palatable

If you ever wanted to see an indictment for failed Government This surely is it A very Bright young lady Points out to those Thinking of migrating To Ireland To absolutely : Do Not !!! Pointing To No Housing So if the brightest are not Coming Then who is ?

The Gardai probably helped smuggle them into the country in the first place. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

Ireland 🇮🇪 belongs to the Irish ☘️ send them home!

Time to control this industry like we need to with narcotics.

Who is going to investigate the mortal sins taking place around this one story? Think of Sodom, Gomorrah and Noe's Ark. Visit The Benedictine Brothers have critical information for all. Search 'Is the World About To End?' The Apocalypse Explained?

A Niall O'Connor article with comments open on the app wow. Because it's a ruhamna article of spin, lies and agenda setting

Deport them all.

Why would the guards investigate? They are probably in on it.

How the feck do we have Albanian crime gangs in Ireland? Ah yes... The Ireland for all clowns.

Yrah we know. We warned you all and still you insist on calling us far right for suggesting closing our borders to prevent single undoc unvetted men flooding our country. If there's no demand the supply diminishes.

Really, who would have thought open borders would facilitate this. I'm shocked. It's not as if O Gorman inviting the world, advertising for it , has anything to do with it or media blanket support like the journal. You all have blood on your hands

and people like journo ' journos' are enabling this by wanting open borders etc shame on ye

I've been telling you this for 5 years but you've been calling me 'far right' for mentioning it.
