Two rescued from brothels cared for but fears over the safety of five others

The seven women, found working in the brothels dotted around the country, are still being interviewed by gardaí to establish whether they were trafficked. Ruhama, which works with prostitutes and victims of trafficking, has offered to accommodate more of the women. It is fearful for their safety if they are not kept in suitable accommodation.

Five of the seven people arrested in connection with the raids in this jurisdiction have been released without charge with files to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
