Since its foundation, Irish people have played an extraordinary role in the construction and development of Hong Kong, in government, the army, police, judiciary, finance and in civil society - schools, hospitals, churches and welfare institutions. Ireland provided nine Governors, five Chief Justices, nuns who cured the city of tuberculosis and priests and ministers who founded high-quality schools that have transformed the lives of thousands of Hong Kong people. They are still flourishing today and are the choice of many Hong Kong parents. In sport, also, the Irish have made a great contribution to the territory - in racing, the Rugby Sevens and, most famously, Siobhan Haughey, the first Hong Kong athlete to win four Olympic medals.
