Anne Norman
A nurse and former member of Cork CND, she founded the Chernobyl Children's Project with Adi Roche in 1990 after Cork CND received a fax from the Red Cross looking for families to take the children. She resigned in 1995.
"We are a non-political group. This is not a personal vendetta. If it was a personal vendetta, we would have gone public before now. The reason we have not gone public before now is because we did not want to damage the work of the project."
Tom O'Hanlon
A businessman, he served as a committee member for a number of years before leaving in 1996. His decision to quit is believed to have been related to Ms Roche's treatment of two office staff at the CCP.
"We want to put out the truth and let people decide for themselves - we're not telling them how to vote one way or another - all we're saying is that there's another side to Adi Roche."
Denis Murphy
A volunteer worker, he went to Belarus on several occasions to bring back children but was frustrated by the bureaucracy involved. Tried setting up his own operation to bring children to Ireland but claims Ms Roche feared a rival group.
"I dread the idea of Adi Roche becoming President of this country. Her style of management was Stalinist. The project became too big for Adi and power went to her head - all we were getting was propaganda."
