Strategically positioned Red Light Districts in Ireland

    Yeah, I was chatting to Charlie Flannagan a few months back.

    Now of course his typical media presentation is all PC, but this was just himself and myself - and you know how that is.

    He was giving it, "Francis Fitzgerald really twisted our arms back in 2017 but, you know it, I know it - the Irish population knows it - girls gotta make money, and men gotta get jolly".

    And I was like, "you know what would really upset them up-settable womens apple cart? Not just to, plain ol' legalize prostitution - nuh.
    That ship has sailed.
    What we wanna do - is glorify it. Glamorize it. Put it up in lights.
    So I'm thinking, around temple bar, maybe around the Green - couple of Red Light districts; open view to the public. The classiest areas get it first.
    It'd make sense to have something around Grand Canal also - you know - pay homage to our Dutch counterparts
    ".

    And he was like, "not sure how that'd go down with the immigrant population though - religious beliefs and what not".

    But then I was like, "it'll keep their wives on their toes - don't even worry about it".


    My point here is - is it ludicrous to suggest that, something that could have such profound effect on the emotional stability and structure of a nation, could possibly transduce in effect, a cultural revolution?

    I get it - to the unstable, like our mate Gemma and her pal Francis - it's difficult.
    But as humans, we grow, develop, evolve, by confronting the difficult and learning to deal with it.
    To them, this whole agenda is basically a case of, "out of sight and out of mind".

    I think this would be a tremendous opportunity for personal growth.


    Bottom line - a Red Light District of prostitution around Temple Bar?
    Down one of the lane ways there perhaps?

    Y/N?

    You won't even see them on the Dock Road in Limerick any more. It all moved up to Catherine Street and Glentworth Street towards the end of the Celtic Tiger. No sign of them on any of the streets since the recession came in, but it's probably all being organised over the Internet these days anyway.

    I outlined, this was a private chat - there are no transcripts.

    Just me an Cha - shooting the breeze.

    We basically understand that, we let the wicked women have their wicked way, which not entirely co-incidentally involves many many men, not getting their wicked way.

    Especially low hanging fruit like that 65 year old OAP they busted last year....

    NVVESNw.png

    "The dude was an elderly social recluse and just wanted some company"


    The point here is, me and Cha - we're on the same page.

    We both understand that, there's no intermediate measure.
    The pendulum cannot rest in the balance - it must be all one way, or the other.

    At the moment, we're definitely veering toward, "the other" - illegality etc

    "One way", however - is full state licensure and regulation, with endorsement to practice in designated zones, which shall be state supervised.

    And we'll get the burning crosses and gnashing of teeth, you know - from all those chicks like Gemma and Francis;

    But like I said - tremendous, tremendous - opportunity for personal growth.

    Kind of like a, win-win.

    N stuff.......

    Take her up to the Red Light District of prostitution around Temple Bar, the Red Light District of prostitution around Temple Bar, the Red Light District of prostitution around Temple Bar. Take her up to...

    No, I'm sorry OP. It wouldn't work.

    lol

    Was that Christy Moore?

    I was thinking more along the lines of,

    "Immigrant women from Romania - in Temple Bar, wanting to have their way with ya....

    way with ya

    way with ya.....

    50 euro plus extra is the price - this piece of heaven, for you to have a slice....

    have a slice

    have a slice...."

    I'd open one brothel aimed at the tourist market featuring only lovely local cailins with curly red hair wearing Aran sweaters and another aimed at the domestic market featuring common tropes of Irish women such as 'the Irish teacher,' 'the repeal bird,' the howarya from the flats,' Sr Bernadette' etc.

    Temple bar - place is half in the bag, just as it stands.

    Head shops, sex shops, strip joints, massage parlors, gals dressing alluringly, bars, nightclubs, Brazilian students carrying sandwich boards etc

    Cobble stone streets and a strong youth demographic - let's face it - what we are trying to do here, is cross the sacred, with the profane.
    The beautiful, with the nasty.
    The real clean - with the real sticky icky....

    AW LAWD!!!

    The historical issue with prostitution is, it's been associated as a back street activity with poor legislation and thus poor standards and thus all around a pretty depraved activity.

    And what smells, attracts the bottom feeders - criminal activity.

    The issue, is not criminality - it's the neglect by the state forcing workers to associate with the degeneracy element to carry out the work particulars (mostly renting unlicensed property, basic standards of hygiene, and chauffeuring the prostitutes about the country).

    Thus relocation to upmarket regulated zones, mitigates all the bad, and accentuates all of the good - not to mention leaving a size 12 boot print in the historical conventions as to sexuality and correctness in this still relatively primitive country.

    And that right there;

    That will be its core value.


    Not to mention one or two bonus points like taking monopolistic control out of those hands of those defecters currently running the primary access medium via the f^cking Cayman Islands or some sh1t.

    Again - this group is out of state regulation (no surprise, currently illegal here, but hoping that will change), actually encourage plagiarism and racketeering, nor contribute taxable income to Ireland, despite being its exclusive target demographic.


    Yeah I mean, plans are plans but, I guess local authority for permission and designation of such zones - preferably in temple bar for starters.

    Was Temple Bar just a poor choice of location?

    Where then?

    IFSC?

    Somewhere a little further south?

    Not sure about Cork but I think Limerick has gone indoors now pretty much - possibly in the apartment blocks not far from that old docklands area. Although a foreign work colleague went down to Dolans pub for a gig a little while and parked up on a side street where some old monstrous abomination was immediately over to tap at the window. The last of her kind perhaps.

    Would there be "comely maidens" dancing at the crossroads maybe wearing Twink masks?
