  A search for pair-produced doubly charged Higgs bosons has been performed
using the data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP at centre-of-mass
energies between 189 and 209 GeV. No excess is observed in the data with
respect to the Standard Model background. A lower limit for the mass of 97.3
GeV/c^2 at the 95% confidence level has been set for doubly charged Higgs
bosons in left-right symmetric models for any value of the Yukawa coupling
between the Higgs bosons and the tau leptons.
