An Irish mountaineer and charity fundraiser has died while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Ian McKeever, who was 42 and from Lough Dan in Wicklow, was leading a group of climbers when they were struck by lightning.
Mr McKeever was a leading member of the Kilimanjaro Achievers Team, a group of veteran climbers which led groups to the top of the mountain.
In 2007, the adventurer had scaled Mount Everest.
