I'd thought of, 3, but probably failed to articulate it because the thought of RTE journos sharing a login conjures up images of the pair of them taking turns on an old IBM laptop on a dialup line from the dark ages - I wish for better for Irish journos, I guess. Little's blog does at least sound like him. Bird's blog is sufficiently barren for it to be believable that he's doing it (sic) himself. @Will – good points.

It's possible that Mr Hennessy is transcribing phoned in content from the reporters, and his authorship is being detected/reported 3) Shared login. Silly, but possible from a remote site. Also possible if user is assumed and has to be manually changed if Little/Bird type in. 4) Locked out of their accounts (well it is an exciting time for a reporter.)
