Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / April 16 2003: €500m bid to site Bertie's Bowl at Lansdowne Road

Lansdowne Road last night emerged as by far the most likely site for a new national sports stadium - if the price is right. Sports Minister John O'Donoghue will bring proposals on a new stadium to Cabinet, but the price tag is likely to result in reservations from the PDs. Following yesterday's meeting with the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Rugby Football Union, Mr O'Donoghue revealed the overall cost of the stadium could be €515m with the two codes contributing €118.5m.
