Pilot dies in glider crash in Kilkenny

07 August 2006 21:52

Investigations are continuing into the death of a man who died after his aircraft landed in a field near an airstrip in Kilkenny this evening.

It is understood that the man, who was in his late 70s, was a well-known businessman in the area.

He was the only occupant of the single-seater plane.

His body has been removed to hospital for a post mortem examination.

Anyone know who it was?

If RTE aren't inclined to release the name then publishing it here might not be the most sensitive thing to do ...
