However, despite the seriousness of the incidents, officials said they cannot provide any information on any disciplinary action faced by those involved

It isn't. Nor is politics.ie. But the suggestion that the majority of politicians visit sites like these to capture the mood of the plain people of Ireland is laughable. They don't. For better or worse, boards.ie is seen as a refuge for cranks, weirdos and keyboard republicans.

you really think that people who access sites such as p*rn while in work should not be reprimanded ?

Dating sites, facebook, adverts, boards etc ...all stop/slow productivity in an environment where productivity should be paramount - unfortunately - in this country productivity is only a private company's problem.

Why do you think people believe that in the first place. While it does attract a lot of weirdos, underneath it all you do get some sensible opinions.

In companies like Google and Facebook, which probably have some of the most productive work forces in the private sector, you're free to browse any sites (within reason) at any time.

Trying to turn your staff into robots between set hours is very counter productive and is a sure-fire way to reduce staff morale. The Facebook offices, for example, are open 24/7 to give staff all the flexibility in the world to work as they like.

As long as the job gets done you're encouraged to spend your time as you see fit.

Of course this sort of set up wouldn't necessarily work in other industries (particularly the public sector).

facebook and google are hardly the norm in todays world of business. (there is always an exception to the rule)

- ever queue in an office run by the civil service (people standing/sitting behind computer screens...when 15-20people are waiting to be served ..maybe one person serving) ...an example ...the driving licence office (motor tax office) ...its hardly that difficult to cross check the details on a form to that of the details on the screen and accept payment....yet ...its a painfully slow experience.

Passport office have stopped people coming into the office and queueing for hours on end - its now by appointment ONLY - and you can also do it by post - so the workers can work at their own "pace".

Also... Facebook/google offices are encouraging employees to stay in the building as much as possible so their lives revolve around work and they are into a routine whereby their home is more of a burden....facebook/google employees (at least the higher up ones that I know of) will tell you they are never off the clock, wages are great, hours, travel etc ...great ...but they are always on the clock.
