Irish person was among the victims on flight MH17
It's been confirmed that an Irish-born citizen was among the victims on Malaysian airlines flight MH17. It's understood the woman was a native of Dublin, but had been living in Australia for some years. Foreign Affairs minister Charlie Flanagan says he's spoken to the family of the victim to offer his condolences. He says Ireland supports calls for a full, independent international investigation to establish the cause of the crash and to ensure those responsible are brought to justice. Rebels deny they are to blame - as do the Ukrainian authorities. Around 200 bodies have been recovered at the scene. Sky's Stuart Ramsey is there Click PLAY to hear audio
