Stadium plan unveiled to public

THE IRFU and FAI have unveiled their design for the proposed new 50,000 all-seater stadium at Lansdowne Road, predicting it would be a major boost for tourism.

The plans for the new-look stadium were presented to the public yesterday by the respective bodies and the developers, Arup Sport, who are a division of Arup Consulting Engineers.

Both associations had met with Sports Minister John O’Donoghue before Christmas with the plans for the stadium.
