A memorial plaque commemorating two athletes who lost their lives during the swim section of Ironman Cork has been unveiled at Youghal’s Front Strand.
A crowd of more than 300 people gathered at the spot where Meath-born Brendan Wall (45) and Ivan Chittenden (65), from Toronto, had entered choppy waters alongside more than 2,000 fellow athletes last August.
