Pensioner who accidentally left €2,500 in suitcase given to charity shop asks for public's help

A Dublin pensioner who accidentally left €2,500 in a suitcase he donated to charity has appealed for the public's help.

Joe told Katie Hannon on RTE's Liveline that he had hidden the massive sum of cash in the suitcase for safekeeping. However, he forgot that the money was still in the bag when he donated it to a nearby charity shop.

The black suitcase has since been swiped up from the Down Syndrome Ireland shop with Joe urging the new owner to come forward. The retired couple had hoped to go on holidays, having waited patiently during Covid-19 pandemic.
