Ireland lauded despite failure to prosecute any traffickers
A GLOBAL report on human trafficking has placed Ireland in the top tier of countries for its efforts to tackle the crime, even though not one person has been prosecuted under this country’s specific legislation dealing with trafficking.
The US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) 2010, says Ireland fully complies with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
