Ryan hoping to end Chernobyl children impasse

The head of Chernobyl Aid Ireland, Eoin Ryan MEP, is to meet with the Belarus ambassador to the EU in Brussels tomorrow to discuss easing travel arrangements for the children of Chernobyl who want to visit Ireland.

There are as many as 2,500 children from Chernobyl who visit Ireland every year and 200 children from Belarus want to visit Ireland this coming Christmas.
