1,000 websites barred in Leinster House

Searches for expensive life-sized sex dolls, information on Germany’s gay scene, lingerie, extreme violence, and Latin Masses are among some of the websites blocked by the Oireachtas security system in the past 12 months.

The system, which oversees the online activity of TDs, senators, civil servants, and the media working in Leinster House, released details of all attempts to access banned websites.
