Workers at a recycling centre in Dublin have found a tidy sum. Staff at Panda Recycling in Cappagh found €2,775 in cash inside a skip that came in to the recycling facility.

After tracing the owner, it turned out the money belonged to a woman whose father had recently passed away.

As she was clearing out her late father's house, she disposed of the cash by mistake.

She was thrilled to be given the money back, but asked not to be named.
