At the beginning of September 2004 Minister John O’Donoghue, Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism officially announced the re-development of Lansdowne Road into a 50,000 capacity all-seater stadium. As part of the announcement a new company, Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC) has been formed by the IRFU and FAI. The company, which is chaired by Philip Browne, chief executive of the IRFU, will be responsible for the construction and management of the proposed new stadium.

The LRSDC website will be updated on a continuous basis with a view to keeping all stakeholders in the project up-to-date with exactly what is happening.
