%X This article interrogates the discursive framing of recent law and policy debates on criminalizing sex purchase in Ireland and the implications this has for sex workers¡¯ political voice. Drawing on Nancy Fraser¡¯s work on the political dimensions of justice, we look at how Irish neo-abolitionists, through their Turn Off the Red Light (TORL) campaign, map and delimit access to political space and consequently misframe, misrecognize and misrepresent the ¡®problem¡¯ of sex work and sex-working women. We employ the methodological framework suggested by Carol Bacchi¡¯s What¡¯s the Problem Represented to Be (WPR) approach to explore how TORL campaigners exercise and manage frame-setting in law and policy contexts to deny all ¡®other¡¯ voices parity of participation in political space. We argue these misframing strategies reflect meta-political injustices of misrepresentation
