Waterford’s two Sinn Féin TDs have expressed condolences following a plane crash in Tramore.
“Terrible news. Hoping everyone is safe,” said Deputy David Cullinane.
Conor McGuinness TD said: “Hearing reports of a twin engine plane crashing just outside Waterford City. Praying for the best outcome.
“Road closures in the vicinity of Waterford Airport. Please give our emergency services the space to do their work.”
It is understood the crash has taken one life. The News & Star will provide updates as further information becomes available.
Online flight tracking websites showed the plane involved was a privately owned Vulcanair P68C flying between Sligo and Beziers, in France.
The plane re-routed from the south coast of Ireland towards Waterford Airport before crashing.
Vulcanair describes the plane as "a six seater, twin engine, high wing, fixed landing gear aircraft".
