Several hundred people, including the parents of Grace Lynch who was killed after she was hit by a scrambler bike, have taken part in a "walk for Grace" in Dublin.
The community came out to support the family of the teenager who was struck by the scrambler at the Ratoath Road in Finglas yesterday.
The walk in her memory started from where the 16-year-old was struck and made its way to her intended destination at Plunkett Grove.
Speaking at the march, Grace Lynch's mother Siobhan Gifford Lynch said: "I want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for turning out, for supporting my child.
"I will fight, and I will fight, to get these scramblers and scooters off these streets.
"My poor baby was mangled in that hospital, in that bed and to watch her take her last breath is the worst pain imaginable.
"It’s not something that any parent should have to deal with.
"And with everybody’s support we’ll get petitions signed and we will get this in the name of Grace."
Cat Barnwell Molloy, who organised the event through social media, said the idea was to call for justice for Grace and to finish, for her, the walk she never got to complete.
Erin's Isle GAA Club in Finglas said it will open the clubhouse for friends of Grace to gather there.
Grace was brought to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown for treatment after the incident yesterday, but died from her injuries.
A man aged in his teens was arrested in connection with the incident. He remains in garda custody.
Fianna Fáil councillor for Ballymun-Finglas Keith Connolly said she had been "on the way to meet her boyfriend on a Sunday afternoon" when she was so tragically killed.

Local Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis said that the whole community is deeply shocked and devastated by the death.
Offering his deepest sympathy and condolences to Grace's family and friends, he said: "I cannot imagine the pain that they are going through now, with the loss of such a lovely young girl, who had her whole life ahead of her."
Mr Ellis said the "scourge of scramblers has been a major problem for many years" and that the "latest tragic incident shows that the existing legislation is not sufficient".
Mr Connolly also said the issue of scrambler bikes has been raised at every single safety forum he has attended for the last number of years but that it is clear that not enough is being done to deter people who use them in a dangerous manner.
Scrambler drivers 'just don't care' about safety of others
One local resident said that "everybody's just fed up with" the scrambler issue in the area.
She said that what happened on the Ratoath Road was "horrible" but nothing was being done about the use of scramblers, which are designed for street or off-road use.
She said there have been other incidents in the area involving scramblers and that those using the bikes "just don't care" about the safety of others.
Another woman said the use of scramblers has been an issue in the area for a long time.
One resident said the people using the scramblers are "doing wheelies up the road" through passing traffic.
"The likes of yesterday shows me they shouldn't be allowed," she said. "This has been going on for years - it happens 24/7... they need to do something with it, they need to stop them."
