Lansdowne Road Stadium redevelopment well on target

THE IRFU and FAI confirmed yesterday that the redevelopment of Lansdowne Road Stadium is on schedule to lodge a planning application by the end of the year.

The organisations also expect to be in a position to reveal the conceptual design for the new stadium within a month.

However the project will proceed without its appointed project director, Willie Ryan, who informed the Board “some time ago” that he wished to step down for ‘personal reasons’.
