They seem to be particularly visible around the HSE offices on Catherine St. I've heard it being said that the majority of them are Brazilian with some Romanians and other Eastern Europeans. Unfortunately, this kind of activity just further enhances the ghettoisation of the city centre.

If a Ghetto gets 'enhanced' is the net result better or worse?

It's worth at least 10 million to the local economy.

Lads,

Spotted this thread today and thought to myself "surely not!".....Although not a limerick native, I am living here 10 years and had heard the usual doc road stories....so myself and my other half happened to be driving through town about 30 minutes ago when I remembered reading the post this morning, drove down Catherine St (at 9.30pm!) and low and behold, there were two girls very obviously touting for business!....the seedy thing was we spotted a car pull up to one girl and the guy inside was easily 60 years of age.....shudder!!!

Has Limerick really come to this?:mad:

There was always prostitutes on O'Curry street, and a brothel near the Spar on Henry street, every big town in Ireland has prostitutes. It's depressing, but it's even more depressing that it needs to move towards a different street in town for people to even notice it.

prefer the fella to be 60 rather then the girl!
Id say it has gone on in every city in the world since caveman decided it would be more fun to bang women then bang rocks.
They should probably just legalise it, get a bit more tax in!

I usually steal their purses while they are asleep, do you just mug them?

lads lads... have some respect, these girls are human beings

Pfft. Couldn't find any pics on that save limerick page. Wanted to see if I recognized any of cars, prostitutes, pimps, or dogs.

Anyone living on Catherine street want to poke their head out the window and take a pic?

So are their clients, why the double standard?

Seriously though, I agree, i just dislike the hypocrisy that it took until they were on a different street for people to care.

So how long has it been going on in this area?
Was it the dock road before that?

However morally wrong this maybe as well as dangerous for these poor ladies and also against the law. This is a refreshing for the frustrated politians who were only used of Moyrosstitutes with baggy Dunnes Stores
tracksuit pants and high heels for years. They are very welcome to Limerick,and the oldest profession in the world should be legalised.Could put some people back to work and generate some tourism.

Disagree. . . . Theqe are many other options available to generate tourism than prostitution im sure. Let amsterdam have that glory. Limerick is already known for all the wrong reasons. My opinion anyway.

If you lived in Shannon you'd need something like that to keep you sane.

I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.

Was in town this evening and passed by catherine street for the laugh.
Good god...
Ok only saw one, but she was nasty!
Looked south american and about 40, and had been towed along the runway by the ugly plane.
Worse thing was, she got picked up! (Not by me!)
If this is what prostitution looks like in ireland, Ban it immediately!

To coin a phrase from john joe....
