Quick decision expected on Thomond Park

A DECISION on the future of Munster rugby’s home at Thomond Park will be made by the IRFU “sooner rather than later” it was learned last night.

Plans to redevelop the ground into a 26,000 capacity venue, which is owned by the IRFU, hinge on agreement being reached with householders in the vicinity of Thomond Park.

Offers have already been made to the property owners directly concerned - believed to be double the market value of their premises - and a deadline has been set for acceptance or refusal of those offers.
