Woman arrested after raid on suspected brothel

GARDAÍ have arrested a woman and questioned a man following a raid on a community housing group home which was allegedly being used as a brothel.

The house close to the centre of Enniscorthy in Co Wexford had been under garda surveillance for the past 10 days. Complaints about the same house were received by gardaí in mid-November of last year. But no arrests were made at that time.

The house on Daphanie View was raided around lunchtime on Thursday. A man who was being entertained by the middle-aged woman upstairs in the house was spoken to by gardaí. His name and address were taken and he was released.
