An Irish man has died following a plane crash in central Africa over the weekend.
The wreckage of the plane, chartered by Australian mining firm Sundance Resources Ltd, was found in dense jungle in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon's minister of communications Issa Tchiroma Bakary said.
Ballymena-born James Cassley and the entire board of Sundance Resources including mining magnate Ken Talbot were among the 11 passengers killed.
Mr Cassley (30), was brought up in Quin, Co Clare but had been living in London for some time and was travelling on a British passport.
The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed it was providing consular assistance to his family.
The aircraft was reported missing on June 19th on a flight from Yaounde to Yangadou in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
