On the 26th of April 1986 the world was gripped by europes biggest nuclear disaster, due to human error.
SiobhÊal Nic Eochaidh the dublin rose of 2011 and her escourt talked to us about there trip to Ukraine, after months of fundraising which included sitting on a bike for six hours they headed off to the Ukraine.
with the Adi Roche foundation which focuses on helping children after disaters. When they arrived it was -30 DEGREES which was a bit of a shock for an Irish person who calls 10 degrees cold.
What they were shown in the orphange was a bit of shock, Unit 1 had children that were bed riden, they had sours from holding the same position, the shock continued to set in as they went through the diffrent units. What they found hardest to take was the fact that if their was anything wrong with children they seemed to go here even with a mild case of ADHD.
The orphange was at the end of a country road which showed when you went here it was the end, when children became adults at the age of eighteen they were moved to a adults mental asylum.
