The parents of 16-year-old Grace Lynch will appear before the Oireachtas Justice Committee on Tuesday as new figures reveal four people have died and many more have been seriously injured in scrambler related incidents since 2021.

Martin and Siobhán Lynch are due to appear alongside Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly, six months after the 16-year-old was fatally struck by a scrambler bike while using a pedestrian crossing in Finglas, north Dublin.

The tragedy prompted the Government to introduce ‘Grace’s Law‘, banning the use of scramblers and quad bikes in public places.

The hearing comes as the Road Safety Authority is expected to tell the committee that four people have died and 59 others have suffered serious injuries in scrambler-related incidents since January 2021, according to figures reported by the Irish Examiner.

The Lynch family has repeatedly called for stronger enforcement of the legislation, arguing the law must be backed by robust Garda action to prevent further tragedies.

Speaking previously, Siobhán Lynch said she wanted to ensure her daughter’s death would not be in vain and urged gardaí to fully use the powers available under the new regulations.

Grace, a fifth-year student, died after she was struck by a scrambler bike at a pedestrian crossing on Ratoath Road in Finglas in January.

An inquest heard she suffered multiple traumatic injuries, while criminal proceedings relating to the collision remain ongoing.

Tuesday’s committee session is expected to examine the enforcement of Grace’s Law and the wider issue of illegal scrambler use, with Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly also due to answer questions from TDs and senators.
