Ireland Has Brothel Problem

Ireland has a brothel problem according to statistics from the Department of Justice. And the city of Limerick is overtaking Dublin in its number of brothels.

Prostitution is also increasing in counties such as Wexford, Monaghan, Roscommon and Longford.

There has been a crackdown on prostitution with 28 brothels shut down this year. Brothels were discovered in 14 different counties in the first half of this year, compared to six counties for the entire 2009 year.

A spokesperson for a women's group blames mobile phones and the internet for the increase.
