What Information do ISServices Keep?

Cantab.

Interesting article here on what's happening in MIT with regard to computer access logs: http://tech.mit.edu/V129/N20/networkmonitoring.html

Would be interesting to know what ISS keep track of and if they are open and transparent about it. IMO, the SU should take a leaf out of the MIT "undergraduate students association" and be more inquisitive of our administration.

Why leave it to them? If you concerned why not ask yourself

You're entitled to any information they keep about you. They record the time and place of your log in but not activity afaik

As an internet service provider in the EU they are now required to hold all logs for a minimum of 12 months.

Would it be admissable in a court of law, as evidence?

I'm not sure to be honest; I don't know if anyone is! There's certainly no precedent at this early stage.

I have the feeling that something would need to be passed, either through an act of the oireachtas or by statutory instrument to make it acceptable as evidence, though.

Trinity isn't and ISP so it doesn't apply.

Unregistered: Evidence gathered via covert surveillance isn't presently admissible in an Irish court but can be used to establish just cause*.

*I'm not a barrister, and what I know is purely from the broadsheets.
