The Ireland AM Twitter account has been suspended after a message was sent out about water charges.

According to reports the tweet, which has since been deleted, read: “We all need to make a stand on December 10th!! @FineGael have taken, taken, taken. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! (Retweet spread the word)”.

Another tweet then said that the anti-water charges message did not reflect the opinion of Ireland AM and that the account would be suspended while the matter was investigated.

It was announced yesterday that water charges would be capped until 2018 with charges beginning in January 2015 and the first bills arriving in April.
