There's been thousands of attempts to get access to porn sites in Leinster House over the past four months.

That's according to the Irish Examiner, which has been obtained the figures under the Freedom of Information act.

There were attempts to log on to nearly 40-thousand banned web sites in Leinster House between May and September this year.

They were made by staff, journalists, visitors and contractors and include porn, escort agencies and gambling sites.

Porn and reports of "provocative attire" made up nearly eight thousand cases.

Oireachtas officials say as many as two thirds of the bids are the result of pop up ads or spam and can't be considered genuine attempts.

But the Examiner says that's not the case for almost 40 percent.

Dating web sites which require log-ins were also accessed 44 times, indicating they were not visited because of spam.
