'Diverse' group of 80 experts wants sex work laws repealed

Ireland adopted the 'Nordic Model' in 2017, criminalising the purchase of sex, not the selling of sex.

More than 80 academics, lawyers, doctors, criminologists have lodged a submission advocating repealing Ireland's sex work laws.

In July, solicitor Maura Butler was appointed as the Independent Expert to conduct the promised three-year review of the 2017 legislation which criminalises payment for sex.
