A fundraiser in memory of Cavan native Edward Reilly has raised close to €15,000 for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

A table quiz was recently held on what would have been Edward's 40th birthday to raise funds for the charity.

Edward went missing in the Netherlands in February after leaving a cafe.

Dutch police subsequently launched an investigation and Mr Reilly's body was discovered in water between Almere and Amsterdam around two weeks later.

The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust has issued a "massive thanks" to Martin and Bernadette Reilly and the wider Reilly family, Cormac Cassidy and to Edward's friend for raising "a superb €14,630" in Edward's memory.

Speaking previously to Northern Sound, Edward's father, Martin Reilly, said the money raised will help other families who have "this tragedy come to their front door":
