Fiona Corcoran began The Greater Chernobyl Cause in response to the world’s most devastating nuclear disaster

The Chernobyl commemorative service featured music, poetry and prayer and the Ukrainian national anthem was performed by children from Goggins Hill National School.

The region, home to the area affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, was besieged by the Russian army in the first few days of the ongoing war, trapping over 300,000 citizens without food, water, or medical supplies.

The Greater Chernobyl Cause hosted a small private commemorative event today in Cork to mark the 34th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The short ceremony was closed to the public arising out of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Four transition year students from Fermoy have travelled to Kazakhstan with the charity, the Greater Chernobyl Cause.  This marks the first time that students have travelled with the charity to Kazakhstan to give aid to those in need.
