Hong Kong: SARS decision 'unfair'

The Hong Kong Special Olympics team says the decision by the Minister for Health to request that they stay away is "disappointing and unfair".

Minister Michéal Martin last night decided to ask teams from Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines not to come to Ireland.

The Hong Kong team's national director Miss Fay Ho says she feels that they are being unreasonably singled out.
