They are the living legacy of her humanitarian work and they were there last night to see her honoured.

Innocent victims of the Chernobyl disaster, who were all abandoned in the same orphanage, and then saved by Adi Roche and her charity, Chernobyl Children International (CCI), were reunited with her at UCC last night to see her conferred with an honorary degree.
