Charity to visit Chernobyl ahead of 30th anniversary

Founder Adi Roche, who has since the 1986 accident overseen the delivery of nearly €100m in medical and humanitarian aid to the Chernobyl-affected regions and whose charity has brought over 25,000 children to Ireland for recuperative holidays, said the five-day visit will mark the start of a series of major commemorative events due to take place over the coming months.
“The Chernobyl accident happened a long time ago and there is a view that it no longer poses a threat to the world,” she said.
