It found a number of ads online, where properties were offered in return for sexual favours.

The Irish Examiner investigation uncovered online ads offering properties in return for sexual favours in Limerick and Dublin. 

Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has condemned the ads and urged targeted tenants to tell gardaí.

One ad was for a shared house in Newcastlewest, Limerick, with the landlord advertising a room for a single lady “with a twist”.

The ad says: “Can do reduced rent for occasional fun.” 

When contacted by a prospective tenant, the landlord made it clear that sexual activity was required on a weekly basis in return for rent of €200 for the first month and €250 per month thereafter.

When asked if the room was available without sexual favours, he said it was preferable to rent it out to someone willing to engage in sexual activity. 

He also promised the accommodation would be free if the prospective tenant became his partner in the future.

He said another woman and a couple were also interested in the room and he would give the room to whoever he liked and “had naked fun with”.

One asked for only “sweet, cute and charming girls to apply” while another advertised a free room in return for a “friend with benefits”.

Journalist Ann Murphy says the arrangement leaves women in a vulnerable position:
