IRFU insists asbestos poses 'no issue' in Lansdowne redevlopment

The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has insisted there will be no risk to residents - and no delay to redevelopment work - due to the presence of asbestos in the West Stand at Lansdowne Road.

A report in today's Sunday Tribune said the completion of the €250m stadium refurbishment would be put on hold to allow specialists to remove the asbestos.
