More than 600 people have attended a silent candlelight vigil in Youghal, Co Cork in memory of the two competitors who died during the half-Ironman triathlon last Sunday.
Brendan Wall, 45, and 64-year-old Ivan Chittenden, died during the event.
Mr Wall's funeral service took place earlier today in Co Meath.
Among those who gathered in Green Park were members of the emergency services, people who had participated in last weekend's event and local families.
Flowers and candles were laid before photographs of the deceased.
Responding to a Triathlon Ireland statement that said it had not sanctioned the event, Ironman Ireland said that it was several hours after the swim had finished that Ireland's national federation informed their on-site officials that it would not sanction the event.
But in response, Triathlon Ireland insisted its officials told organisers before the start of the sea swim, that it was not possible to sanction it.
Ironman Ireland said that it is standing by its statement.
