From The Implementation of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017, Part IV – An Interim Review:

From Report:
For a detailed country specific assessment of the impact of the laws on prostitution and trafficking to be effectively undertaken, the Higher Level Working Group recommends the appointment of an Independent National Rapporteur on Gender-based Violence and Exploitation. The Rapporteur should have the authority to review non-identifiable data from the statutory and non-governmental agencies. Annual reports should include the data outlined above and be presented to the Oireachtas on a regular basis. The presence of the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection is a good model in the Irish context. Other international models, such as the Finnish and Danish examples, are also models that could be applied in the Irish context. To be completed
