GARDAĆ have arrested more than 20 people for soliciting prostitutes.
They said the arrests took place in the past few weeks following an operation targeting persons soliciting prostitutes in the Limerick area. The accused will appear before a sitting of Limerick District Court this morning.
I wonder if their names will appear in the local paper
Iād say most of them are foreignā¦
During the summer there were gangs of proās on OāConnell st, and Catherine st. They seem to have disappeared back to the railway.
Could this implicate some forum members who visit the railway hotel?
Itās the customers that were arrested this time though, not the hookers.
I heard from a man who was in town on Friday night that he propositioned 3 times by hookers on Catherine St.
Isnāt that the Runts car?
You can see the back of the persons head over the top of the driver seat which would rule runt out.
On that note, there seems to be two lads in that car, are the Limerick Street Walkers offering a 2 for 1 Groupon or some such?
21 guilty of soliciting undercover gardaĆ for sex acts
DAVID RALEIGH
TWENTY-ONE men pleaded guilty at Limerick District Court yesterday to soliciting two undercover female gardaĆ for sex acts in Limerick city.
The men, aged from their mid-20s to mid-60s, were arrested on different streets in the city, on dates between November 11th and December 4th this year.
In total, 27 men were brought before the court accused of approaching the two undercover gardaĆ and offering them undisclosed sums of money in return for sexual activities.
The incidents happened in locations across Limerick city centre, including Catherine Place, Perry Square, Catherine Street, Barrington Street, Mallow Street and William Street.
Judge Eamon OāBrien told one accused man who had requested free legal aid because he was on social welfare: āIām not granting free legal aid. If you can afford a lady of the night, you can afford a solicitor.ā
The 21 men, who each pleaded guilty to one count of āsoliciting or importuning for the purposes of prostitutionā on dates between November 11th and December 4th this year contrary to section 7 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1993, were ordered by Judge OāBrien to pay an amount equivalent to the maximum mandatory fine under the legislation. Each has therefore been told to pay ā¬470 to local charity Doras LuimnĆ, in lieu of a sentence.
The court heard of a Garda operation in the city, in which two plain-clothes gardaĆ posed as prostitutes.
Solicitors for the 21 men who pleaded guilty told the court their clients were embarrassed and apologised for their actions, and did not want to come before the courts again.
Doras LuimnĆ is a volunteer organisation working on behalf of the human rights of all migrants living in Ireland.
It also helps women who have been trafficked into Ireland from abroad for the purposes of prostitution.
The 21 accused men were remanded on bail until March 13th next year for receipt of payment of the fine.
They are: Denis Enright (52), of Dromin, Listowel, Kerry; John Galvin (63), of Carrigeen, Croom, Co Limerick; Noel Mason (52), of Monaskeha, Clonlara, Co Clare; Valentin Munteanu, (28), of Kilmore, Grange, Co Limerick; Wayne Murphy (25), of Singland House, Ballysimon, Limerick; Noel OāBrien (27), of Ballingoola, Grange, Co Limerick; Krzysztof Poczynski (24), of Crestwood, Kilteragh, Dooradoyle, Limerick; Gary Stack (67), of Druimeen, Ennis, Co Clare; Adam Pustkowski (36), of Vartery Avenue, Raheen, Limerick; Derek Power, (49), of Glantan, Castletroy, Limerick; Patrick Quilty (38), of Castletown, Pallaskenry, Co Limerick; Gearoid Phelan (23), of Castletroy View, Childers Road, Limerick; Conor Carey (33), of Corelish, Pallasgreen, Co Limerick; Eamon Coffee (42), of Mortalstown, Ardpatrick, Kilmallock, Co Limerick; Michael Dorman (51), of Borrigone, Askeaton, Co Limerick; Serghei Boldescu (31), of The Grove, Huntsfield, Dooradoyle, Limerick; SĆ©amus Keane (59), of Coolreiry, Castleconnell, Co Limerick; James Lynch (49), of Mayne, Kilmeady, Co Limerick; Dimitri Yakovlev (40), Parkview Court, Lord Edward Street, Limerick city; Makki Mutaz (45), of Foxes Bow, Limerick city; and Michael Ryan (63), of Knocka Lower, Drom, Templemore, Co Tipperary. Each man admitted offering money for sex at various locations in Limerick city centre.

Christ, poor aul fookers named and shamed. That wont be easy for them.
Two 63 year olds 
Fair fucks to them
Askeaton
I recognise the name of a Limerick senior club footballer there too :lol:
Iād say its probably a different John Galvin Runt.
Not him you fiend
On a more serious note youād hope the shame of this isnāt too much for some of the older fellas.
Very much so, given the time of year and all, ah it just seems a bit much. I know they were in the wrong, but to be named like that, ara, you just wonder was there a need.
A man from Clonlara on the list too.
:o
Perhaps the Puke is a 52 year old sexual deviant, as opposed to the 20 something sexual deviant he led us all to believe he was.
Iām trying to figure out which one is Thraw.
Iāve had one of the above confirmed as a well known figure in the county
