@Jibz various causes are possible. However Sky only block sites if a UK court order is in place as they are required to do by law.

Check the settings for Sky's Broadband Shield as that can block sites if set too low. The site itself maybe down which happens quite frequently. The site may not be lusted in the DNS look up which can happen if it has changed hosting or is very new. Your browser can block connections if they are considered insecure e.g. not using https.

@Jibz if Broadband Shield is not offered in Ireland you can delete that from the list. However as far as I know Sky Ireland do not block sites except if required to by the courts which normally applies to sites linked to copyright theft. However as I posted sites can be unreachable for other reasons. Can you givecan exampke?
