A man aged in his late teens is to appear in court over a scrambler crash in north Dublin in which a teenage girl died.

Grace Lynch (16) died after the incident on the Ratoath Road in Finglas on Sunday afternoon.

A man arrested on Sunday has since been charged and is expected to appear before Blanchardstown District Court at 10.30am on Tuesday.

More than 1,000 people gathered on Monday evening to retrace a route walked by Grace on the day she died.

At Plunkett Green, a crowd of friends, neighbours and locals sang Grace and released pink balloons into the air.

Her mother Siobhan Lynch thanked people for coming out for the walk, and said watching her daughter “take her last breath was the worst pain imaginable”.

“It’s not something that any parent should have to deal with.”
