Brendan Tuohy, Irish Secretary General of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, has started a blog at MSN Spaces.  His blog already contains discussions of a meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a report on Ireland's welfare state, and volunteer experiences in Nairobi, Kenya and Calcutta.

I've had the good fortunte of knowing Brendan practically since day one of moving to Ireland.  As his blog already reflects, he is a remarkable individual, with a keen interest in how technology can be used to empower people - and, on top of all that, he also has a photographer's eye - so I'm excited to see where he'll take us with the writings he calls Sliabh Luachra!
