Justice committee to review sex-for-rent ban, which would hit violators with €50k fine

A landlord in Newcastlewest, Limerick, advertised a room in his house for a single lady 'with a twist'.

The legislation to outlaw sex for rent propositions has been referred for pre-legislative scrutiny to the Oireachtas Justice Committee.

The Ban on Sex for Rent Bill 2022 was introduced in the Dáil last month, following an investigation since last December by the Irish Examiner into sex for rent offers being made to people seeking homes.
