Brutal murder of Geila Ibram reignites debate over Ireland’s sex trade laws

Brutal murder of Geila Ibram reignites debate over Ireland’s sex trade laws

27-year-old mum of four Geila Ibram was murdered in 2023 while working as a sex-worker n Limerick. The violent attack was committed by Habib Shah Shamel who in recent weeks has been in court for terrorism related offences. The case itself has reignited the call among campaign groups for the decriminalisation of the sex trade in Ireland. But with only 15 convictions for those buying sex between 2017 and 2024 it raises questions around how the sex trade operates in this country.

Chloe McPolin is joined by Crime World’s Denise Smith to discuss Ireland’s sex trade and if meaningful change can be made following Geila’s murder.
