Generous Denis jets in stranded athletes

MILLIONAIRE businessman Denis O’Brien has dug deep to make sure stranded Libyan athletes make it to the games on time.

The Chairman of the Special Olympics committee has arranged for his private jet to fly the delegation of 12 into Dublin after visa delays put their trip in jeopardy.

Residents who spent months preparing for their special guests were devastated earlier this week when they learned the Libyan team would not be able to take part in their host town programme, after failing to process and collect visas from the Irish consulate in Tunisia.
