(I can add to this that the Law School in Blackhall Place, while I was there, decided to take more direct action by blocking access to any address with ‘blog’ in the URL.)

I can't believe it, I don't know what they use those computers for, but most certainly if its research they should be allowed to read blogs I mean ffs?????? what are they doing?

and politicians as people who constantly deal with media should certainly be allowed to write blogs.

personal blogging is a different thing, but you don't use a hammer to crack a nut...

You mean the civil service is trying to stop its staff from using computers for personal use while on the clock? Whatever is the world coming to?
