<p>Three British citizens, two Irish people and a Spaniard have been killed in a plane crash at Cork Airport in the Irish Republic.</p>
<p>Of the six survivors, two of whom walked away from the mangled wreckage of the 18-seater turboprop aircraft, two are British citizens, two are from Northern Ireland and the others are from Waterford and Cork in the Irish Republic, police sources confirmed.</p>
<p>Some of the dead were understood to be the crew, as well as some employees of the KPMG accountancy firm based in Belfast, including a partner in the business, Pat Cullinan, originally from Omagh, Co Tyrone.</p>
<p>The only woman on the flight, who was from the UK, survived. It is understood another of the men who died was a businessman from Cookstown, Co Tyrone.</p>
<p>A casualty information bureau has been set up at the airport with staff operating a helpline on +353 (0) 21 4328 820. Aer Lingus cancelled four flights in and out of Cork after the accident while a number of others have been diverted to Shannon.</p>
<p>The Health Service Executive said four of the injured were in a serious condition and the other two injured were described as comfortable.</p>
<p>Jurgen Whyte, senior inspector with the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU), said the plane had crashed, inverted and caught fire about 1,000ft down the runway.</p>
<p>The AAIU will examine air traffic control tapes, radar information, weather reports and the condition and operation of the aircraft to establish the cause of the crash.</p>
