Last month, the Minister for Defence was given permission by the court to serve injunction proceedings on the three caravans requiring them to leave

This month, more caravans arrived, with numbers initially standing at 18 and later another 15 arrived

Speaking to the Kildare Nationalist, Kildare South TD Seán Ó Fearghaíl said the Department of Defence had secured a court order approximately two weeks ago to remove encampments from the Curragh.

The pensioner was involved in a collision in Curragh Road, Kildare town, on Wednesday.

The court heard the injunction notices were either handed to the occupants or pinned by bailiffs to the caravan doors and included a "plain English" version of them ordered by the court.

The property is on the market with an asking price of €850,000
