Traveller couple settle caravan case

South Dublin County Council has settled its case with an elderly Traveller couple who wanted the local authority to provide them with a centrally-heated and plumbed caravan.

Paddy and Bridget Doherty - who are in their 70s and in poor health - have been living in a caravan at a Clondalkin halting site, which is cold and damp and without plumbing or toilet and shower facilities.
