THE Scots father of two sisters who committed suicide last year has spoken about his plans to atone for his failings as their father by raising money for charity.
Tony Traynor was absent from the lives of his daughters Shannon and Erin Gallagher for several years after splitting from his wife.
The girls died last year in County Donegal, Ireland, within two months of each other. Erin took her life last October at the age of 13 after being targeted by cyber bullies. Shannon, grieving for her sister, took her own life last December, a fortnight before her 16th birthday.
