Irishwoman left $8m by NY heiress settles row

An Irishwoman left $8m (€6.2m) by a New York heiress has settled a bitter legal dispute with the family of the dead woman.

Elsie McCarthy, originally from Schull in West Cork, was left the millions by Robin Archer Moles, who died in 2009.

Ms McCarthy had been the multimillionaire’s carer for over 20 years.
