An 18-year-old man who was charged with dangerous driving causing the death of 16-year-old Grace Lynch in Finglas, Dublin earlier this year is facing six more charges.

Keith Lee, with an address at Park View Drive, Poppintree Park, Dublin 11, appeared before Blanchardstown District Court this morning.

Garda Thomas McDaniel of Finglas Garda station told the court Keith Lee faces six additional charges.

They are four counts of dangerous driving, one count of driving without insurance and one count of driving without a driving licence.

Judge David McHugh told Mr Lee, whose solicitor was not in court, that he needed to inform his solicitor due to the technical nature of the charges.

He said Mr Lee’s case would return to court on 29 September at 12.30pm for service of the book of evidence.

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

The reaction to her death led to the introduction of Grace’s Law in April which introduced a ban on scramblers in public places.
