New training base delayed until 2016

Munster chief executive Garrett Fitzgerald has confirmed there has been a delay to development of the province’s training base at the University of Limerick.

“We revisited the actual floor space of the facility, reviewed it having looked at other training facilities and we decided we needed to redesign it a little, so that delayed the approach to it,” he said.

“It is due to be submitted for planning this month with a view to it being ready in January 2016 or around the middle of the 2015-2016 season. In the time plan it has gone back about six months.”
