A significant wind shift was the main cause of the July 2007 plane crash in Connemara which killed two people, a report by the Air Accident Investigation Authority concluded this week.

An inquest into a plane crash at Inverin which claimed two lives has heard that the pilot would have found weather conditions “challenging”, neglected to weigh his passengers, and did not radio operations staff at the destination airport.

An inquest jury has called for a “serious review” of safety measures during private flights, for the position of the emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) to be clearly shown, and for the Irish Aviation Authority to ensure all light aircraft operating in Irish airspace comply with regulations.

Shortly after the GAA was founded 125 years ago, the universities started putting out hurling and Gaelic football teams and competing against each other. These intervarsity competitions were put on a formal basis with the presentation of the Sigerson Cup for football in 1911, the Fitzgibbon Cup for hurling in 1912, and the Ashbourne Cup for camogie in 1915. Involvement in the GAA in third level institutions was a help to many students in adapting to a new life away from their homes and local clubs. It gave them a common interest with fellow students and helped the process of integration into a more diverse community.
