Children remember Chernobyl’s plight in mural

THEY say a picture is worth a thousand words — and the artistic young people of Mahon will be the talk of the Cork suburb after completing a mural commemorating the Chernobyl disaster.

The mural was unveiled yesterday.

Almost 25 years after the disaster occurred, the group of local children have highlighted the importance of remembering the ongoing plight of Chernobyl victims by painting their own interpretation of history’s worst nuclear accident.
