A special memorial service is to be held next week, organised by members of the Oireachtas.
It follows a suggestion today from the Ceann Comhairle that the Dail Chamber be used for an ecumenical service.
But Chief Whip Paul Kehoe has agreed with his opposition counterparts to hold the service outside Leinster House.
This is to allow staff in the Oireachtas as well as members of the public to attend.
The Taoiseach and other members of the Government will attend the service which will be held on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Books of condolence are open for the victims of the balcony collapse in Berkeley, California in which six Irish students were killed.
Seven others were injured, and their families have been arriving at the hospital where they are being treated.
Queues have been forming at County Hall in Dun Laoghaire, where a book of condolence has opened.
Books have also opened at City Halls in Galway, Cork and other locations.
While St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin has also opened a book, which will be available to sign during cathedral opening hours.
An online book of condolence is in operation at University College Dublin (UCD) - where many of the victims studied - while another will open at Mansion House in Dublin from 10am tomorrow.
Irish flags on public buildings are flying at half mast.
Meanwhile the Dáil was suspended this lunchtime as a mark of respect to the victims of the disaster.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has led speeches in memory of the victims, and read their names into the record of the House.
These people in Dun Laoghaire say their hearts go out to the families of all those affected.
The families of some of the injured students in Berkeley have been arriving at the hospital where their children are being treated.
An emergency response line for concerned friends and families of those affected by the Berkeley tragedy has received over 500 calls.
Meanwhile it has been announced that the Junior Minister for the Diaspora, Jimmy Deenihan, is going to San Francisco to lead diplomatic support there.
Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan told the Pat Kenny Show here on Newstalk that consular assistance is being provided in California.
A structural assessment of the building's remaining balconies is to be completed within 48 hours.
Newstalk's Shona Murray spoke to Breakfast from Berkeley this morning. She says "there is a definite consensus here that the balcony was decayed and rotting because of inadequate protection against water. Definitely this was not recklessness on behalf of the students."
Shona started by describing the scene near the site of the tragedy, almost 24 hours after the balcony collapse.
Anne O'Sullivan, whose son Dan lives in one of the apartment's below the balcony that collapsed, spoke to Breakfast about the scramble to make contact last night.
Pictures from the scene showed that the balcony, about 5ft by 10ft, appeared to have broken off from the building and partly landed on the balcony below it, as well as in the street.
The area was cordoned off, and on the closed street below, a shrine was growing. Flowers, a pack of cigarettes, a Cal Berkeley university banner and condolence notes were left at the site.
All the balconies in the apartment building have been sealed off while they are checked for safety.
