Leinster to develop new multi-million facility at Clonskeagh

LEINSTER Rugby will be moving its administrative and training headquarters later this year in a multi-million euro development that will be partly funded at least by a private benefactor.

The branch is to turn its existing relationship with UCD into a permanent partnership, with a €2.25m facility being developed in Clonskeagh to establish a base near the campus, where Leinster already use the pitches.

At present Leinster are based at the Riverview complex in Donnybrook, having moved there in October 2005.
