An investigation into a fatal plane crash yesterday afternoon is continuing in Co Waterford.
The pilot, who was the only person in the small plane, was killed when it crashed near Tramore at around 12.50pm.
His body was removed last night to University Hospital Waterford.
The scene remains preserved and the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) will be at the scene later.
The AAIU said it was deploying four inspectors to the site near Lisselan, outside Tramore.
In a statement, it said it had completed its initial examination by 9pm last night and had exited the site.
It said it would return to remove the wreckage to their wreckage examination facility at Gormanston, Co Meath.
Emergency service units, including Coast Guard Rescue 117, attended the scene yesterday, which happened on approach to Waterford Airport.
The R685 was partially closed and motorists were advised to use alternative routes.
Online flight-tracking websites show the privately-owned Vulcanair P68C was flying between Sligo and Beziers, in France, when it turned around off the south coast of Ireland and headed back towards Waterford Airport before the crash.
