THE BLACK BOXES recovered from downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in rebel-held east Ukraine show shrapnel from a rocket explosion caused the passenger jet to crash, a Ukrainian security official said today.
International investigators “indicated that data from flight recorders show that the reason for the destruction and crash of the plane was massive explosive decompression arising from multiple shrapnel perforations from a rocket explosion,” said Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council.
Data from the doomed airliner’s black boxes was decrypted in Britain after being handed over to Malaysian officials by pro-Russian rebels controlling the crash site of MH17.
Investigators leading the probe in the Netherlands, which lost 193 citizens, refused to confirm the latest information from Kiev, saying that they were “waiting to get a more complete idea of what happened.”
Kiev and its Western allies have accused insurgents of shooting down the plane, killing all 298 people on board.
In Moscow, the head of the Russian experts participating in the crash probe, criticised Lysenko for commenting publicly without the authorisation of the chief of the investigation as is required by international agreements.
Oleg Storchevoi, the deputy head of Russia’s air regulator, was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying Ukraine has “violated the basic principles of cooperation in the investigation of air crashes”.

It’s no wonder they are able to open new branches as they have front of bank staff down to 2 at a time if your lucky
Rural Ireland feels no benefit once again. Social isolation is agenda at this stage
Look if people decide to live in isolated rural communities with tiny populations then they will have live with the fact that they are never going to have the services that are provided in large urban centres.
One off houses are an abomination.
The people that put bread and meat on your table would like to have neighbours too.
Then go live in a village!
It is not sustainable to have houses dotted all over the countryside.
The only house that should be built on a family farm is for the person (family) working that farm!
You should not be permitted to build on the farm just because you are the child of a farmer unless you are actively working on the farm and will inherit it in the future. The farm should also be viable there probably should be some size restriction to build on the farm. It’s unlikely that a 1 hectare farm would be viable but there maybe some crops or produce that would make a farm of that size profitable. Each case should be examined on its merits.
News just in, all people outside of Dublin are not farmers
Prionsaois take a chill pill. That’s a different argument!
The banks should be open from 9 to 6 and on Saturdays like any other normal business.
They don’t need new branches just longer opening hours
I didn’t start it and I agree probably Sunday opening as well.
