RDS Arena redevelopment plans for Leinster Rugby's home submitted to Dublin City Council

The RDS has submitted an application to Dublin City Council for a major redevelopment of Leinster Rugby's Arena home.

The cost of the project is expected to be €50m and will be sourced from RDS funds as well as from Government support - €10m is the bank collected from the Large Scale Infrastructure Fund in 2020 - and outside backers, bringing the capacity of the venue to 21,500.

The existing Anglesea stand was built close to a century ago and it is to be demolished, along with the Anglesea Terrace.
