The new Lansdowne Road stadium is proposed to look like this

"It is a disappointment to the IRFU and the rugby community that Wanderers FC chose to take this matter to the Courts," said an IRFU statement.

"The matter should have been settled months ago."

"The focus is now on the development of the new stadium at Lansdowne Road and to ensure that this important project now proceeds on schedule."

Wanderers said it had reached agreement with the IRFU over the demolition of the club pavilion which is situtated on the south side of West Stand.
