Psychologists support Shannon’s school friends and teachers

A range of psychologists and other mental health experts were on hand to support Shannon Gallagher’s schoolmates and teachers after the tragedy.

Many of the services were already in contact with students and staff at Finn Valley College in Stranorlar since the death of her sister Erin in October.

The school is run by Co Donegal Vocational Education Committee, whose chief executive Shaun Purcell said the welfare of students and staff is its primary concern.
