Travel chaos delays Ghana athletes

THE host town which closed its doors to Special Olympics athletes from Hong Kong is now pulling out all the stops to try to get its new delegation into the town.

Officials from Clonmel, Co Tipperary, are desperately trying to sort out travel chaos endured by the delegation from Ghana.

The African athletes had problems with their visas and couldn’t travel last weekend as planned. They hope to leave Ghana today for a five-and-a- half hour flight to London Heathrow. But the nightmare doesn’t end there.
