Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-17
============================================================

Steven Matthews (GP), Wicklow

I want to ask the Minister if her attention has been drawn to recent media reports of sex for rent cases. I refer particularly to reports by a journalist in the Irish Examiner , Ann Murphy. Are there specific measures or legislation to address this crime, if it is a crime? I am not sure if it is and seek the Minister's clarification. Is she considering measures to address the matter?
