Family appeal for help to find Cavan man Edward Reilly missing in Netherlands

Edward Reilly (39) was last seen leaving Café Het Stiege in the centre of Almere Buiten in the Netherlands at 12.30am on February 18th.

He had been out socialising with friends, who say that he left the bar just after midnight.

It is thought he may have decided to walk home after failing to get a taxi.

When last seen, Mr Reilly was wearing black jeans and a black hoodie with white writing on the sleeves.

He had been living in the Netherlands for a number of years but is originally from the Corfree area of Gowna in Co. Cavan.

Dutch police have launched a missing persons investigation in the hopes to find Mr Reilly. His sister has travelled to the Netherlands to help with the search.

Sharing a photo of Mr Reilly online, his sister Lisa wrote: "Our brother is missing over in the Netherlands. If you can share this with any people you know in Almere, Amsterdam or the surroundings it would be brilliant. #helpusfindedward

"If you have any contacts in Ireland or the Netherlands who could help me with progressing the investigation, please get in touch. All the best, Lisa."
