The Air France crash that killed three Irish women is expected to top the agenda at a civil aviation conference in Dublin over the next two days.

More than 100 aviation experts will attend the European Civil Aviation Conference of Experts on Accident Investigation today and tomorrow.

It will review accidents and serious incidents in member states, including the Air France 447 crash over the Atlantic that killed all 216 passengers and 12 crew on board the flight from Brazil to Paris.

Among the dead were three Irish doctors Jane Deasy, Aisling Butler and Eithne Walls.
