Aircraft down is EI-IHL, carrying out gas pipeline inspections.
Just back from delivering the survivor to Galway Hospital, hopefully things look OK for him.
No speculation please until the AAIB have done their investigation, by all means draw your own conclusions. but not on here.

RIP, very sad. Talked to EIIHL regularly. So used to him calling me, knew where he was going before he even asked.
Condolences to the family of the deceased.
Speedy recovery to the injured.

Raise the min height?
"Due to the increased hazards associated with low-level Aerial Work operations, the investigation makes the following Interim Safety Recommendation:
Safety Recommendation SR No. 13 of 2007:
The Irish Aviation Authority review the suitability of single-engine helicopters operating on Aerial Work Permits engaged in low-level operations.
The Investigation is ongoing and a Final Report will be published in due course."
What was the typical height flow for this task?
Rather than dictate twins for low level work, would an increase in min height enable the continuation of the type of work this single engine heli was doing?
