J-1 students have been remembering the 6 victims of the Berkeley balcony collapse.
Around a thousand people gathered together for a memorial service in California overnight to remember the 6 dead and 7 injured while a vigil also took place.
Meanwhile the Public Editor of the New York Times says an article which suggested the J-1 students were an 'embarrassment to Ireland' was inappropriate.
Former President Mary McAleese has written to the paper saying it should be "hanging its head in shame".
Back home prayers will be said for the victims at St Ann's Church on Dawson Street today and tomorrow.
A book of condolence is also open at the Mansion House this morning.
