Michael Ryan - a father of two from Co. Clare - was among the 157 victims from the Ethiopian Airlines flight to Nairobi in Kenya.

He'd been working as an engineer with the UN Food Programme

The Ethiopian Airlines flight was bound for the Kenyan capital, Nairobi - but went down minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa.

The cause of the crash hasn't been established yet.
