Body of second Irish tsunami victim to be flown home today

The body of Conor Keightley, the second confirmed Irish victim of the Asian tsunami, is due to be flown back to Ireland today.

Mr Keightley, from Cookstown in Co Tyrone, had been holidaying on the Thai island of Phi Phi when the giant tidal wave struck the region on St Stephen's Day.

His family later identified his remains in a morgue in Krabi.

Mr Keightley would have celebrated his 31st birthday on New Year's Day.
