Eight Irish businessmen, most of whom are from the Connemara and Galway area, and the pilot made up the nine people on board the Cessna light aircraft
It’s understood that one of the two dead men is from Galway while at least one of the two men who are critical is also thought to be from Galway
The remaining five passengers have serious injuries and are still being assessed at University College Hospital Galway
The men had been on a business trip to the Aran Islands and the plane was at the end of the 6 minute journey between Inis Meain and Inverin airport when it overshot the runway and nose dived just after 3pm
It’s understood the businessmen were interested in buying the Cessna Caravan aircraft and used today’s business trip about the new Clifden airport as a trial run
