"On Monday evening, Grace's mother Siobhán held a sign with a picture of her daughter with the words "justice for Grace" written on it as she led the walk from Valley Park estate to Plunkett Green. "Justice for Grace, justice for my daughter," Ms Lynch said as she walked the route. "Justice for Grace, get the scramblers off the streets.""
"Mia Cummins, Emma Power and Grace Higgins, who were close friends of Grace, said: "She was a such a funny person, bubbly, life and soul of the party and such a lovely person to be around; a person that was always there to comfort you when needed. "She will be terribly missed in our amazing group of friends.""
Grace Lynch, 16, died after an incident on the Ratoath Road in Finglas on Sunday afternoon. More than 1,000 people walked the route she took from Valley Park estate to Plunkett Green on Monday to honor her memory. A man in his late teens is due to appear before Blanchardstown District Court in relation to the incident. Grace's mother, Siobhán, led the walk holding a sign reading "justice for Grace" and called for scrambler bikes and scooters to be removed from the streets. Friends described Grace as funny, bubbly and the life and soul of the party. Two GoFundMe pages raised over €23,000 for the family.
