Investigation Underway After Plane Crash Kills Man And Seven-Year-Old Boy
An investigation's underway after a man and a seven-year-old boy died in a plane crash in County Offaly yesterday.
Their bodies have been brought to the Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore for a post mortem examination.
The light aircraft had taken off from an airstrip at Clonbullogue with 16 parachutists on board - all of whom made their jump, before the plane was spotted in difficulty.
Edenderry Councillor Martin O'Reilly says it's a terrible shock for everyone:
