Gardaí issued an appeal to more than 630 nightclub patrons who attended the club to contact them on a special email address.

Local Garda Inspector Pat O’Donnell confirmed on Saturday that they have made significant progress with their investigation following the appeal.

A postmortem by assistant state pathologist Dr Michael Curtis was "undetermined" and gardaí will now have to wait for the result of toxicology reports.

A book of condolences opened on Saturday at the school, Loreto Secondary School in Letterkenny, where Ms Johnson had just been made a prefect.

She is survived by her parents Helen and Sammy and sister Amy.

Her uncle Joe Dorrian, a local Garda Sergeant, said his niece lived for "fashion, make-up and school" and said the night she took ill was only her second time at a "real" disco.

The funeral takes place at St Eunans Cathedral with burial afterwards at Conwal Cemetery.
