Adi Roche on The Meaning Of Life

FOR Adi Roche, the death of her childhood best friend from leukaemia, coupled with two miscarriages, herself, inspired her to dedicate her life to the children of Chernobyl.

She talks about how her Cork-based charity Chernobyl Children’s International came about in conversation with Joe Duffy on The Meaning Of Life on RTÉ1 on Sunday, October 8, at 10.30pm.

Adi also discusses how an unjust slur on her brother’s reputation undermined her presidential campaign and her mental health, and reveals her deep spiritual connection with St Brigid of Kildare.
