Leinster investigate after RDS safety issue


Leinster have launched an investigation after supporters were forced to move due to an issue with the flooring in the Grandstand.

12 punters were shifted from their positions at the back of Block L during the team’s dominant 38-7 victory over Ulster at the RDS.

The province insisted that stories of a “collapse” were “hugely wide of the mark” but they have begun a formal investigation.

A statement from Leinster said: “At the Guinness PRO14 game between Leinster Rugby and Ulster Rugby on Saturday, 6th January 2018 in the RDS Arena there was an issue with the flooring in a single isolated row of seats at the back of Block L in the Grandstand.

“As a result, up to 12 patrons were moved from their seats and the area was shut down by members of An Garda Síochána and Sword Security.

“There were no injuries reported at the time and a formal investigation is now underway by the RDS in conjunction with their event safety management contractors Eamon O’Boyle & Associates.”
