Rooney backs IRFU in asbestos claim rebuttal

FAI chief executive Fran Rooney has backed his IRFU counterpart Philip Browne by insisting there are no concerns surrounding the redevelopment of the Lansdowne Road stadium.

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 asbestos from the West Stand at Lansdowne Road.
