The Irish Examiner reports that the money was spent on securing additional caravans, providing isolation units, extra toilet facilities and sanitisation products.

Tipperary County Council spent around €142,000 last year on measures to assist Travellers in tackling Covid-19. The local authority spent a similar amount this year.
