Fundraiser Set Up In Memory Of Young Laois Father And Son

It's in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

A fundraiser has been set up in memory of a Laois father and son who died in a crash in Turkey.

36-year-old Eoin Fitzpatrick and his 10-year-old son, Dylan, who were from Portlaoise, passed away when their scooter collided with a bus in the resort of Alanya last month.

They had been on holidays with Eoin's son and Dylan's older brother Cian and Eoin's partner and her children.

A group of their family and friends will climb Ben Nevis next month in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. 

The organisation supported Eoin and Dylan's family and they say they will be forever thankful to them for bringing their boys home.

The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust aims to support bereaved families repatriating the bodies of loved ones, who have died abroad in sudden or tragic circumstances back to Ireland.

The Go Fund Me page, which was only set up less than 24 hours ago, has already raised over €7,000. 

It has a goal of raising €20,000.
