Following the outbreak of a small fire in the North Terrace at Lansdowne Road, the IRFU have been forced to close the area.

Accordingly, ticket holders for that area will NOT be able to gain access for today's match.

The decision to close the area was taken in the interest of safety following consultation with the Garda and other authorities.

In the interest of safety and crowd control, North Terrace ticket holders are asked not to come to the ground.
