North's sex trade 'moving into the Republic'

Pimps and prostitutes are moving into the border counties of the Republic of Ireland as a crackdown on the sex trade in Northern Ireland comes into force, campaigners have warned.

There has been more than a 50% rise in online sex trade activity in counties Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim and Louth in recent weeks, according to a study by the Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI).
