Lorraine Gallagher is suing Donegal Vocational Education Committee now Donegal Education Training Board following the death of her daughter Erin 13.
Erin took her own life in October last year amid claims that she was being bullied at school and online. She was a secondary school pupil at Finn Valley College in Stranorlar.
Her older sister Shannon 15 also took her own life just a few weeks later, saying she could not go on without Erin.Ms Gallagher 37 is claiming damages for mental distress.
Her legal team claims the school failed in its duty of care to provide a “controlled, monitored, safe, supervised working environment” for Erin. The family’s solicitor, Patsy Gallagher, confirmed that he has now served legal papers on the Donegal ETB.
