A man in his late teens has been charged in relation to a road crash in Dublin on Sunday in which a teenage girl was killed.

Grace Lynch, 16, died after she was struck by a scrambler motorbike on the Ratoath Road in Finglas.

The man was arrested following the incident and later charged.

He is due to appear before Blanchardstown District Court at 10.30am.

Last night, several hundred people, including Grace's parents, made a memorial walk from where the crash occurred to her intended destination at Plunkett Grove.

Her mother, Siobhan Gifford Lynch, said: "It's not something that any parent should have to deal with.

"I will fight, and I will fight, to get these scramblers and scooters off these streets."
