Politicians need to keep a close eye on their social media accounts to ensure their reputation is maintained at all times, but there is the odd slip up here and there.

One such boo-boo occurred on the account of Sinn Féin councillor Noeleen Reilly whose Twitter account was hacked by a group of young lads who left a rather controversial tweet before apologising in the form of a stunning selfie.

Reilly herself tweeted afterwards:

Beautifully executed guys, truly heroes for our time.
