Hi Stu<br />
It is pretty much the same in Ireland. Unfortunately, everything is blocked on the secondary schools network! Flickr, Youtube, all social networking sites, all file sharing sites, all blogging sites! No chance yet of using many of the Web2.0 tools in a creative and responsible way. These sites are not opened even upon request.<br />
Of course most of the students have Internet connection at home and can access these sites in their own time!!<br />

Here in Italy they would first need to know that these sites actually exist and what they are, and maybe then they might decide to block them or, more likely, to happily ignore them...<br />
There have been cases of videos taken by students inside schools and posted on YouTube. All school authorities did was to ban cell phones inside classrooms...
