A stadia that size helps fill a void in Dublin and provides a balance of seated stadia from Croke to the Aviva to the RDS. On top of the Horse Show it may provide for other events… not sure what the FAI agreement is with the Aviva but it could provide for some smaller football matches plus it will add to Irelands RWC bid as well with an additional all seater stadium. Plus maybe a host of other sporting or music events so more a case about benefitting Dublin more than Leinster specifically.
Spot on CT. Leinster are stuck with Donnybrook which is too limited for their needs so the RDS is their only real option and they probably have limited say in what configuration the stadium owners pick.

I liked Donnybrook in the old days.
snipe…...only been to it once a Black Sabbath gig in the 80's I think… they were poor never took to Gillan as the lead singer
That would have been Dalymount Park (old national soccer stadium) on the north side of the city. Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Twisted Sister, Mamas Boys. Great gig.
