Minister expresses sadness at death of Irish tsunami victim

Foreign Affairs Minister Dermot Ahern has expressed his sadness at the death of Tyrone man Conor Keightley in the south Asian tsunami disaster.

The 31-year-old's body was discovered at a mortuary in the Thai resort of Krabi yesterday and was positively identified this morning.

He is the second confirmed Irish victim of the Asian tsunami disaster. The body of Dubliner Eilis Finnegan was found in Thailand last week.

Two other Irish people, Michael Murphy from Co Wexford and Lucy Coyle from Dublin, are still missing and feared dead in the south-east Asian country.
