Mother of teen suicide victims takes legal case

The mother of two teenage girls who took their lives has begun legal proceedings against school authorities.

Lorraine Gallagher is suing Donegal Vocational Education Committee following the death of her daughter, Erin, 13.

Erin took her life in October last year amid claims that she was being bullied at school and online. Erin was a secondary school pupil at Finn Valley College in Stranorlar. Her sister, Shannon, 15, also took her life a few weeks later, saying she could not go on without Erin.
