Appeal halts publication of Connemara plane crash report

The publication of a report into a plane crash in Connemara has been halted after an appeal was lodged.

Airs Corps personnel, 32 year old Captain Derek Furniss from Dublin and 22 year old Cadet, David Jenins from Wexford were killed in the crash near Cornamona in October 2009.

According to the Irish Independent, the final report's publication has now been halted by Transport Minister Leo Varadkar.

The technical report which examines the probable cause of the crash was completed two months ago by the Air Accident Investigation Unit.

The setback in its publication follows the activation of a clause that was never before used in Irish air crash legislation.

It was invoked by an appeal lodged by someone who, to date, remains unidentified.
