Communities have gathered together to pay tribute to the five young people who lost their lives.
Hundreds of people have taken part in vigils to remember the five young people, including a Scottish woman, who died in a crash in Ireland.
Three separate vigils were arranged in Ardee, Co Louth; Drumconrath, Co Meath; and Aughnamullen, Co Monaghan; to pay tribute to the deceased on Tuesday night.
Chloe Hipson, 21, from Bellshill, who was living in Ireland, was among those who died with her four friends; Chloe McGee, 23, and Shay Duffy, 21, both from Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan; Alan McCluskey, 23, from Drumconrath in Co Meath; and Dylan Commins, 23, from Ardee in Co Louth.
They were travelling together in a Volkswagen Golf while on their way to Dundalk for a night out when they died in the crash on Saturday.
A sixth person who was in the car, also aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Two other people were also injured in what Irish police described as a “shocking and devastating” crash.
The incident, which involved the Golf and a Toyota Land Cruiser, happened on a road near Dundalk just after 9pm.
Post-mortem examinations of the deceased have now been completed and their remains have been released to their families.
The sixth occupant of the Volkswagen Golf, a man in his 20s, has been discharged from hospital.
The two occupants of the Toyota Landcruiser, a man and a woman in their 20s, remain in hospital where they continue to receive medical treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
At Drumconrath Gaelic Football Club, hundreds gathered with candles and mobile flashlights for a vigil on a cold, dark, and windy night.
The club’s flag was flown at half mast as prayers were offered to the McCluskey family, the others injured and killed in the crash as well as the emergency services who responded to the scene.
Some of those gathered wiped away tears as songs were played in tribute to those affected while the congregation also said a decade of the rosary.
A table carrying photographs of Alan McCluskey was also on display.
Meanwhile, gardai continue to investigate all the circumstances behind the crash and issued a renewed witness appeal.
