    Unfortunately this information can only be obtained by An Garda Síochána or upon receipt of a valid court order.

    IP addresses are only recorded when a post is made. I don't know for certain if an IP address is logged if account details are changed, but I would imagine not.

    Either way, as Shield says, that kind of information falls under the Data Protection Act and as such, admins/employees cannot give out that information without Garda intervention.
