Hundreds of people have taken part in vigils to remember the five young people who died in a crash in Dundalk, Co Louth, last weekend.
Three separate vigils were arranged in Ardee, Co Louth; Drumconrath, Co Meath; and Aughnamullen, Co Monaghan.
A prayer service was also held in St Patrick's Church in Magheracloone in Monaghan, in memory of local man Shay Duffy.
Chloe McGee, 23, and Mr Duffy, 21, both from Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan; Alan McCluskey, 23, from Drumconrath in Co Meath; Dylan Commins, 23, from Ardee in Co Louth; and Chloe Hipson, 21, from Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland, died in the collision on Saturday night.
They were travelling together in a Volkswagen Golf while on their way to Dundalk for a night out.
A sixth person who was in the car, also aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital for non-life threatening injuries, but has since been discharged.
Two other people were also injured in what gardaí described as a "shocking and devastating" crash.
Prayers at the Drumconrath GAA grounds were led by Parish Priest Fr Finian Connaughton.
Local man Alan McCluskey had played for the club at underage level.
Club chairman Paul Carey said that event was organised to show solidarity and help and support in whatever way they can.
He said what happened had been a total shock for everyone and that the families were suffering "unimaginable pain".
Just a few minutes away at the grounds of the Sean McDermotts club in Ardee, candles in the shape of a heart flickered on the ground, where another vigil was held.
Ardee is the home place of mechanic Dylan Commins. He and Mr McCluskey were best friends.
A third vigil was held in Monaghan, at the home club of Ms McGee.
Photographs and candles were placed in the stand at Aughnamullen GFC, while the pitch was filled with hundreds of people who came to pay their respects to the five young friends.
The incident, which involved the Golf and a Toyota Land Cruiser, occurred on a road near Dundalk just after 9pm on Saturday.
The two occupants of the Toyota, a man and a woman in their 20s, remain in hospital where they continue to receive medical treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
Post-mortem examinations of the deceased have now been completed and their remains have been released to their families.
Meanwhile, gardaí continue to investigate all the circumstances behind the crash and issued a renewed witness appeal.
The funeral for Mr McCluskey will take place at 10am on Friday, with the funeral for Mr Commins taking place at 2pm that day. Ms McGee's funeral will take place at 11am on Saturday, while the funeral for Mr Duffy will begin at 1pm that afternoon.
A gathering for Ms Hipson will be held this evening from 4pm to 7pm at Quinn's Funeral Home in Dundalk.
