There may be pray.
Members of a religious group from east Limerick have begun saying a decade of the rosary several nights a week outside a suspected brothel in the city to “pray for the women” in prostitution.
The group, which does not wish to be identified, is inviting the public to join them in prayer on Upper William Street, outside a premises where they believe Romanian women are being forced to work as prostitutes.
“We’re praying for the girls. A lot of them are poor, from Eastern Europe and have come here expecting jobs and a better life. We’re not against the women per se – they are somebody’s children. It’s also not good for business here,” said one man, who regularly prays outside the premises.
The rosary will continue on unspecified week nights at around 5.30pm and at the weekend at 8pm, he said.
