  1. Its time to go after the parents who are buying these scramblers for kids to use on the streets in Dublin

    Im sure some of the people saying it awful etc bought their little “person” one as well

    A death such as this has been predicted for ages and it seems that little has been done to reduce the likelihood of it happening.

    The way the world is run is badly flawed, whether it’s protestors being shot by authorities or a young girl dying because in this country there’s an unchallenged and unpunishable culture of lawlessness from certain cohorts.

    You buy a TV & someone can call to your door & fine you. Garda cars can identify untaxed cars simply by driving behind them & then pulling them over but we can’t seem to stop teenagers tearing around on scooters & similar, selling drugs, terrorising people and killing innocent kids

    My heart breaks for this girl’s family & friends.

    One driving around christmas day here, hasnt been seen since. Typical parents who bought it, funnily they had just had XL Bully taken away from them

  4. Sickens my hole how these feral pricks wreak such havoc on innocent people’s lives. Same with that poor man who was brain damaged from a scrote on a bike in Darndale. Nothing but impunity.

    Enough is enough. Build some fucking prisons and start locking this pondscum up.

  5. Saw the snip on the post. Holy moly what a strong woman. The grief is so raw, not just the poor mother and her family but the wider community too. It seemed like she had a really big support network around her, I really hope the garda and the legal system listen before more innocent lives are lost. RIP Grace xxx

    Aren’t a lot of dealers buying these bikes for the younger lads to act as drug mules too?

    Either way, guards need more support to handle these and take them.

  7. And still silence from an gardai or minister of justice on what will change….or dcc parks or dcc housing…..
    Heads in the sand while people.die.

  8. Sorry for the loss of this beautiful young girl Grace -RIP.

    Teenager lawlessness is so out of control in the whole country- Here in corks it’s now very scary going about your business specifically here in corks north central.

    Stolen Motorcycles,cars,scooters and Horses. WTF.

    “Thoughts and prayers…. More legislation…. Let’s pass a bill”

    Folks if nobody is enforcing any of this stuff these animals will just continue doing what they want, and will multiply. We’ll be here again in a couple years with another tragedy, with another Garda review story stating that there’s little appetite for performing standard duties. Yes, dear God yes there has to be legal precedent and powers to do something with the case. But it requires both

  10. There is a serious problem with the young men in this country.

    God love that woman and her family.

    Very sad , RIP to Grace and her family. Something has to be done now.

    Rte highlighted scourge 1 year ago where same scumbags were tearing up and down Parnell Street, Summerhill into Ballybough areas. No helmets doing wheelies.

    No consideration to other road users or pedestrians. Most of these scramblers are stolen.

    So it’s not just down to parents buying them for their teenage kids or younger.

  12. I am fucking enraged. 

    16 YEAR OLD DEAD. A life stolen at SIXTEEN… from her and her mother and her family. From a CUNT ON AN ILLEGAL SCRAMBLER. We need to protest these Nike tracksuit little SHITS. I stand behind this mother in her devastating grief, we can’t let this beautiful girls death be in vain.. things have to change and protests need to happen.
