Light at end of the tunnel for Ireland

IRELAND seem sure of a chilly welcome weatherwise in Georgia this week but a much warmer one from the local fans.

Overnight snow in Tbilisi on Monday suggested playing conditions will be heavy, but the influence of the ESB and the Special Olympics is sure to brighten the atmosphere.

ESB International currently have a team of ten experts in Georgia where they are directing a local staff of 4,500 operatives in restoring and upgrading the electricity system.
