8.Wheel section of plane found off Kinsale

--------------------------------------------------------------------



Fishermen have found the front wheel section of a large aeroplane. The undercarriage section, measuring eight feet in length, was found off the Kinsale coast by Waterford fishermen. The find has been brought ashore at Waterford city and will be handed over to the Air Accident Investigation Unit attached to the Department of Transport over the weekend. A spokesperson for the unit told RTÉ News that it has no idea at this early stage what plane the wheel section may have come from. It is unclear how long the wreckage has been in the water.
