Thirty children from Chernobyl due in Dublin for Christmas

A group of 30 children from the Chernobyl region of Belarus will be arriving at Dublin Airport this morning for a two-week Christmas holiday.

It is part of the long-running efforts to help children affected by the ongoing effects of the 1986 nuclear disaster.
