Ivan Chittenden and Brendan Wall died competing in an Ironman Cork event on Sunday
An Ironman swim event in which two competitors died was not sanctioned by Triathlon Ireland, the head of the organisation has said.
“Triathlon Ireland is the national governing body for triathlon in Ireland, a role which includes providing sanction for club and commercial races to proceed,” he said.“For the Ironman Cork event, in line with normal practice, Triathlon Ireland technical officials attended before the start of the race to review the conditions and carry out a water safety assessment.
“As there is an investigation ongoing, at this stage it would not be appropriate for us to make any further comment only to state that Triathlon Ireland will provide any assistance that the authorities require.”
