An Irish tourist has died in a plane crash in New Zealand.
The light aircraft, owned by a skydiving company, crashed soon after taking off from Fox Glacier on the country’s South Island at 1330 local time.
The man, who was in his 20s, was one of nine people killed. A British national is also among the dead.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to the man’s family.
