Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil in Youghal tonight to remember athletes Brendan Wall and Ivan Chittenden, who died while competing in the town’s Ironman Ireland triathlon last weekend.
The gathering was held at Green Park, the bicycle transition area adjacent to the small beach where the swim element in which the men lost their lives had culminated.
