The funeral has taken place of Ciarán Keating, the older brother of singer Ronan Keating, in Louisburgh, Co Mayo.
Mr Keating died in a two-car collision that happened on the N5 at Ballymiles, near Swinford, at approximately 3.35pm on Saturday 15 July.
He and his wife Annemarie were travelling to see their son Ruairí play for Cork City Football Club in Sligo.
Mrs Keating, as well as the driver and passenger who were travelling in the other car, received treatment for injuries understood to be non-life-threatening.
Ronan Keating was among the pallbearers who carried the coffin of his older brother Ciarán to St Patrick's Church in Louisburgh.
He performed a musical tribute to his brother at the funeral mass, singing This Is Your Song towards the end of an emotional service.
The former Boyzone singer said the song was written after their mother, Marie, died in 1998.
"I shouldn't be singing it in these circumstances, but we are and we will," he said.
He said that Mr Keating's children, Conall, Ruairí and Aisling, had made their dad "very proud".
"As a parent, all you want to do is raise your children as best you can. Ciarán and Annemarie have done a spectacular job," Ronan Keating said.
"Three incredible human beings.
"Your strength over the last few days has been so incredible, and you've made your dad very proud."
Ciarán Keating's son Conall gave the eulogy, beginning by stating that his mother and grandmother were watching.
"My dad gave his most difficult speech 25 years ago when he spoke about his beloved mother, and now I must give the most difficult speech about my beloved dad," he said.
"He has been taken from us far too soon. Our lives have been changed forever. And our hearts are broken."
Ronan Keating's Boyzone bandmate Keith Duffy, members of Cork City FC and representatives of the Marie Keating Foundation were among the mourners.
The Marie Keating Foundation was established in dedication to Ciarán and Ronan Keating's late mother, who died of breast cancer aged 51.
Ciarán and Ronan Keating's father Gerry paid tribute to his late son's work with the Marie Keating Foundation.
"If there was a driver short anywhere, Ciarán would drop everything in Mayo and prepare to drive the unit for the foundation," he said.
"He'd never say no, he never complained about anything."
