With AGS there is no point just calling the station. You have to turn up, insist on making a statement regarding a crime you believe is taking place. Then follow it up with letters to the Superintendent asking what action has been taken. A few visits from the guards and the activity will probably move on to somewhere else.

This is how Ireland works, and not wholly a bad thing.
 
Could be a massage therapist. I highly recommend a session and you might be pleasantly surprised that the activity is not what you thought at all. By the way, how do you know it's prostitution taking place?
 
She's not paying the management fees, the owner is.
Write a letter to her landlord outlining the impact on herself and request a reduction in rent. Tell her to ask for more of a reduction than she hopes to get.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest your friend just leave and find somewhere else.
Because this 'fight' with them will only add stress to her life, not solve her problem.
 
Again, this is nothing to do with landlords, tenants or management agencies.

If there is a well-founded belief that a brothel is being run on the premises, that is illegal and should be properly reported to the relevant authority, in this case AGS.

If you have reason to believe there are minors or trafficked persons in the premises, that should be included in the written report you make.
 
Ok. She is reporting it to the Gardai. He is the owner of the apt. Also contacting local TDs. Are the CAB easily contactable ....had not considered that they would be interested.
 
If its actually a brothel, there is also the possibility that the women working there are doing it by choice - and have no option but to provide the services illegally, given they can't go legit.

I actually think that it's long past time that Ireland legalised brothels - it would help deal with health and safety issues, help disconnect the industry from the criminal gangs, not to mention give the State another industry to tax (Corporation Tax, Employment Taxes, VAT on Professional Services...) .

Yes it’s a brothel. Apt rented to two Eastern European ladies who are not there at all, but who had ’good’ references, presumably forged. There are different women coming and going, not the two who rented it. Men arriving 24 hrs/ 7 days week. A legitimate massage business should not be run out of a residential apartment development 24/7 don’t you think ?
 
Maybe reporting it directly to the Garda department that deals with this area directly might get a better response
Couldn't find contact details for a "Vice" section but I'm sure somebody in National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau in Dublin castle might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction ??
Telephone: +353 1 666 9900
 
The Gardai have a specialised unit dealing with this. see below
www.garda.ie

GNPSB formally establish Organised Prostitution Investigation Unit 2/2/21.

The Garda National Protective Services Bureau has formally established Organised Prostitution Investigation Unit

I suggest it gets reported there in the first instance. There is a named Superintendent in the press-release so perhaps go to him if you get nowhere initially.

Well, I actually know of quite a few. I'm talking of genuine business's and rent a place to a very good Physio. But no, they don't operate 24 hours a day.
