Sex trafficking - Church move to speak out is welcome

WITH sex trafficking identified as a growing problem in Ireland, the decision of the Catholic church to speak out against this heinous practice could not be more timely.

Aptly, priests in the dioceses of Kerry and Cork and Ross will target the issue in homilies on the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Reportedly, the number of young women being lured to Ireland from Eastern European countries on the promise of a job is increasing.
