Welcome to Ireland, where a murder takes place and a murderer is on the loose, and you have to plead on social media in an effort to get the Senior Investigating Officer to speak to you about it. Business as usual for the Gardai. No transparency. No accountability. No oversight. https://t.co/BLxb4KGeNJ

What I learnt from this podcast is that 'Garda sources' are giving journalists information about this case. Yes that is offensive when that same information is not being given to sex workers who are the ones in danger here.https://t.co/T9dEmK0BQY

Sorry for not commenting on recent tragedy. It's only been 2 days and working flat out on no sleep due to the situation. Just don't have right words right now. Appreciate everyone who has been able to share words 💔

Random thought, but I'm sad that no image exists of 'Honor Bright' apart from an image of her dead. It will be the 100th anniversary of her death in 2025 and I hope some artists might draw her alive. Link to article about case for those not knowing story: https://t.co/eY5aQt8coe

Strip clubs do not make money from the male clientele. Strip clubs make money by taking it away from the women who the clientele came to see. Legalized exploitation. https://t.co/XKWiisy3xi

Note: I was a stripper for over 10 years. Strip club should be allowed to exist. But all sexworkers need LEGAL RIGHTS

Can you help a trans sex worker who was recently attacked? She is desperately poor and is working to survive day by day. She needs time off to heal. Any donation you can give is very welcome.https://t.co/WMLZbnUaEq

Sex workers, please note: you do NOT have to answer Garda questions about your landlord. We have received legal advice about this.https://t.co/s5K20iwCYH

Dear Northern Ireland Anti-Trafficking folk, who cared so much about trafficking you worked to have sex work further criminalised, where are you now? https://t.co/yi9Q1ddhcN

"For the conservative, it is free markets & free speech for me, but not for thee. It's tough on crime & tough on terror - until it's their side doing the criming and terrorizing."

Since this article was published, The National Police Chiefs’ Council in Britain has recommended that police turn a blind eye to sex workers sharing space with each other.

Could we see the same kind of common sense approach here?https://t.co/jB6bNiluiP

On the 2nd of June, people celebrate International Sex Workers' Day. @TRPNI is pro-Sex Worker rights and pro- decriminalisation. We are honoured to support sex workers within our community in Northern Ireland. pic.twitter.com/ymHVI916P7

No one should be forced to sell sx to survive.
But while hostile border policies endure, it is essential that specialised support services are able to engage with SWs regardless of their migration status - and that these services are completely separate from the authorities.

Sex work used to be a crime in the Northern Territory.

It meant not all members of our community had the same rights to health and safety at work.

In 2019 we passed a law to recognise sex work as a profession – formally recognising these rights.

It was a massive piece of… pic.twitter.com/Nb1q1jNK9j

In the future, when we finally talk one day, about the scandal of how appallingly the Irish state treated sex workers and sex trafficking victims is the early 21st century, we will need to acknowledge that politicians and the mainstream media not caring facilitated this.

This absolutely stinks. Ireland's statutory review of sex work laws - specifically their impact on safety - is 3 years late and now the independent reviewer has felt she had to resign. https://t.co/TgVleFLmJY

The Sex Workers Alliance Ireland is disgusted and distressed to learn that @Google has removed the Ugly Mugs app from its store. Need we remind @GooglePlay that sex work is legal in Ireland.https://t.co/ZmmzlC7T8A pic.twitter.com/7aWaC03o7P
