'The pain is permanent over the failure to update IT', says priest at memorial service for air crash victim

His mother said there is now a road in Bangladesh called to the Ryan road while Micheál has been posthumously appointed Chief Engineer of the UN World Food Programme.

Someone must take responsibility for the IT failure that resulted in the tragedy that claimed the life of Co Clare engineer Mick Ryan and 156 other airline passengers.

That is according to Lahinch parish priest Fr Des Forde who was speaking today at a memorial service celebrating the life and legacy of the 39-year-old senior United Nations worker and married father of two.
