I found this blog post on MyCrimeSpace.com, it orginated from an article found on the "Irish Independent" website.

Schools to cut pupils off from their daily Bebo fix:
Social networking sites are not just being blocked by schools in The States because of problems...

The controversial and hugely popular Bebo and MySpace.Com websites will be banned in all schools from September.

The schools will have a content filtering system which will block out these so-called social networking sites.

It will also block all illegal and harmful sites, pornography, hate sites and racist sites.

By September, all schools will be on a broadband network which is being organised by the National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE), a government agency.

Bebo is organised around schools and colleges and is widely used in Ireland.
