Rugby ground revamp a step closer

THE €40 million Thomond Park development has moved a step further as the Munster Branch have sought expressions of interest from builders.

An advertisement has been directed at contractors and service contractors who are interested in entering talks for the design and construction of two stands with respective capacity of 7,643 and 8,013.

It read: “The development will consist of the demolition of the existing West Stand and West Terrace and dwellings at No 1 to 28 Knockalisheen Road and associated outbuildings.”
