‘She was a lovely girl who never did any harm’

Erin Gallagher’s mother has spoken of the last few hours she spent with her daughter before the 13-year-old took her own life.

The second-year pupil at Finn Valley College was found dead at her home in Ballybofey, Co Donegal, on Saturday.

Erin took her own life just hours after posting messages on a social networking site saying she was being bullied.
