Funeral Of Erin Gallagher Takes Place
The funeral of 13-year-old Erin Gallagher has taken place in Stranorlar, Donegal.
It is claimed the teen took her own life after she was the victim of cyber-bullying.
Her mother Lorraine, sister Shannon and brother Sean James followed the white coffin inside St Mary's Church.
Father John Joe Duffy said: "Let this be a day for change in our society so that good will be the ultimate end from this terrible suffering.
"This is not the first tragedy, but let it be the last - but it can only be the last when we face the reality that we are not standing up to this as a society."
Local schoolchildren formed a guard of honour as the hearse made its way to a cemetery in Castlefin.
