A poignant vigil has been held in Dún Laoghaire tonight for Greta Price-Martin, the 22-year-old cyclist who was killed last week in a collision involving a truck.
Academics and students walked from the Institute of Art and Design and Technology, where she had just completed her first year of studies, to the scene of the accident at Glenageary Road Upper.
Local residents joined the crowd of several hundred people and were told by the young cyclist's father, Breffni: "She should have been safe here. She should have been safe."
Her mother, Vanessa, urged people attending the vigil, which included members of the Dublin Cycling Campaign to: "Keep cycling."
Three of her friends paid tribute to her at the vigil. Music included a rendition of the song "Fields of Gold".
A minute's silence was also observed.
