RDS redevelopment expected to be completed in time for 2026 Horse Show
The redeveloped 20,000-capacity stadium in the RDS that will host Leinster rugby, concerts and the Dublin Horse Show is running ahead of schedule and is expected to be completed in May or June of next year and available to stage the 2026 Horse Show. Leinster Rugby are due to be in the grounds a few weeks later, in September, to begin their new season in a totally revamped facility. In 2022, the rugby club signed a 25-year agreement with the RDS that will see the Ballsbridge venue remain the team's home ground out to 2047. About 40 per cent of the new Anglesea Stand has been built, while the new player changing facilities, which have been moved from the Anglesea Stand to under the stand on the opposite side of the pitch, are almost complete. READ MORE 'The new stand is going to be very similar to the old stand,' says RDS chief executive Liam Kavanagh. 'You have a low rake of seating and in the middle there will be what we are calling the suites, which are open bar food areas, not unlike what you'd see in the Aviva or Croke Park. 'They are open areas looking out to the pitch on one side and looking out on to the rings on the other side. 'We have three of those. The first main suite area is built, and they have now started back since staging the [2025] Horse Show and are working on the remaining 60 per cent. That structure will be physically up by the end of the year. An impression of the redeveloped RDS arena. Photograph: Newenham Mulligan/Grimshaw via Leinster Rugby 'The roof is planned to go on around December time. During the early part of 2026 you are into fit-out and completion.' The RDS has also acquired St Mary's church at the corner of Anglesea Road and Simmonscourt Road to use as a key access point to the 43-acre campus. [ RDS Horse Show Celebrates 150 Years of Equestrian Excellence in 2025 Opens in new window ] The church, which sits on one acre and is a listed structure, has potential as an event space, or as part of a food court on match days. It was deconsecrated in July 2020. The pitch surface was also protected from the beginning of the project and taken up before construction began. No heavy machinery has been required to work on the pitch. 'The surface was taken up after the Horse Show last year, just before the stand began to be taken down,' says Kavanagh. 'There were some new irrigations put in and it was reseeded. The surface for the Horse Show was probably one of the best ever. It was carpet-like. They will do some work on it now after the Horse Show to maintain and look after it. The new stand being constructed at the RDS. Photo: Bryan O'Brien / The Irish Times 'But there is no construction on the grass. They are operating within the confines of the construction site and they are coming in either Anglesea gate or Simmonscourt Road gate.' There are no plans to increase ticket prices to offset the cost, which is set at €52 million, part of which came from Government support through the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). The RDS sees it as a 10- to 20-year reinvestment in facilities, although it expects the modernisation and increased capacity of the ground to a seated 20,600 may give opportunities around different hospitality options that would not have been available in the old stand. [ Leinster give Bulls a taste of their own medicine to end four-year wait for trophy Opens in new window ] 'The match day experience is somewhat unique,' says Kavanagh. 'You are not in the likes of the Aviva or Croke Park. You are on a campus and that allows for a broader match day experience and you can see that during the Horse Show, the way people use the wider areas for social and hospitality. 'From a stadium perspective you've got Croke Park at 70,000 or 80,000. You've got the Aviva at 50,000 and you drop down to Tallaght Stadium [10,500 capacity]. 'The RDS has a sweet spot there around the 20,000 mark. It would be great to see some of the women's sports come here in either soccer or rugby. So, we have our eyes and ears open for that.' The Horse Show 2026 also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Nations Cup and Aga Khan trophy, so there will be celebration around next year's event. It is also the 100th birthday of the Equitation School, while in 2031 the RDS celebrates its 300th anniversary. It [new stand] will be a significant upgrade on what was there before and the RDS will be 300 years old in 2031,' says Kavanagh. 'I think it will give the campus momentum to do other things and extend facilities further. You like to think it was not the end of something, but the beginning of something broader.'

Sisk to work on Center Parcs expansion
Building giant Sisk is to begin work on the expansion of Center Parcs in Longford, after it was named as the chief contractor for the €50 million development plan. The expansion, which will add 83 new lodges to the resort and a new Lakeside restaurant, is part of the extension approved in late 2023 that will increase capacity to about 3,500 guests. Construction is already underway at Center Parcs Longford Forest, with a total of 300 jobs expected to be created during the building work. Sisk previously worked with the resort prior to its initial opening in 2019. 'Sisk is delighted to win the Center Parcs extension project,' said Leanne Broderick, managing director of Sisk, describing it as a 'significant project win' for the company. READ MORE Center Parcs is expected to add a further 250 permanent jobs once the expansion is operational. [ Center Parcs 'trading well' as £100m expansion in Longford underway Opens in new window ] 'Longford Forest continues to go from strength to strength and, in a short time, has become a firm favourite with families across Ireland,' said Daragh Feighery, village director at Center Parcs. 'We are delighted to be working with Sisk again on the further development of Longford Forest, following on from our successful relationship during the initial build.' Part of the construction work will be focused on sustainability, with an air source heat pump-led network to power the new lodges, and energy efficient lighting installed at the facility. The new commercial buildings at the village will be powered by electricity.

How Waterford's Euryka is reimagining content creation
Dinesh Lalvani has hopped around the world before landing in Ireland. Raised in Dubai by Indian parents, he studied international business at Hofstra University in New York and, having lived in Mumbai, New York, London, and Dubai, has now settled in Waterford. This geographical shift is explained by love. Lalvani met his Irish-born wife, Claire, in Dubai. Waterford is now home to Euryka, an artificial-intelligence-powered creative hub for marketing teams . Lalvani co-founded Euryka with creative developer and technology expert Sarabjeet Singh just over a year ago, and their company has a globally dispersed team of 12. 'We describe Euryka as an all-in-one creative intelligence workspace designed to eliminate the biggest bottlenecks in modern content creation,' Lalvani says. 'Today's creative teams lose countless hours jumping between disconnected AI tools, constantly re-uploading files and struggling to maintain brand consistency across projects. 'Euryka solves this by bringing 30-plus leading AI models for text, image, video, music, and voice generation into a single, seamless platform. 'More importantly, it connects directly with an organisation's knowledge base, automatically carrying brand guidelines, tone of voice and project context across every creative task. Our system adapts to different workflows so teams of any size can move faster and stay co-ordinated.' The idea for Euryka grew from Lalvani's frustration at juggling multiple AI models that only delivered what he wanted up to a point. 'They solved part of the puzzle but didn't retain any context in relation to what I was working on, and when you're trying to collaborate in a team environment, you end up with a big mess,' he says. 'Our aim was to unify these disparate AI tools, underpin them with an organisation's context/knowledge, and make it collaborative so people can create and ideate from a single source of truth and leverage AI in a more responsible, secure and compliant way.' The beating heart of Euryka is Hive Mind, its proprietary intelligence layer that's responsible for building the deep contextual understanding of brand, projects and team interactions. It learns from every conversation, document and creative decision, and as it learns, it becomes smarter and more tuned in to the creative team, Lalvani says. Euryka is a large language model agnostic, meaning it supports a range of models, including OpenAI, Meta and Mistral and does not reuse customer data as training fodder. 'Euryka's intelligence is fully ring-fenced within an organisation's secure workspace. The Hive Mind learns exclusively for you, ensuring your creative advantage stays yours alone. 'This makes Euryka not just an AI aggregator, but a genuinely evolving creative intelligence system built to amplify, not replace, human creativity,' adds Lalvani, who says the company does not have a direct feature-for-feature competitor. Euryka's minimum viable product was launched in March 2024, and it became generally available earlier this year. The project cost approximately €500,000 to build, which was privately funded. The company is an Enterprise Ireland-designated HPSU (High Potential Startup), and the next step is a Series A funding round of €3 million in 2026. The company makes its money from software as a service subscriptions and AI consultancy. Subscriptions start from €39 per month for a plan aimed at individuals and small businesses. Pricing goes up accordingly for multiple and enterprise users. Euryka is focused on Europe, the Middle East and Africa markets but with an emphasis on Gulf Co-operation Council countries, as the founders' network is strong there. Lalvani describes programming as his natural wheelhouse and the environment in which he's spent almost three decades, primarily in the media and creative industries. In 2003, he co-founded Flip Media, a digital marketing agency that became the largest of its kind in the Middle East before being acquired by Publicis Groupe in 2012. A year later, he founded Growl Media, which developed an app to enhance children's language skills. More recently, he has been investing in start-ups and using his experience to help others develop their businesses. Asked what tempted him back on the start-up rollercoaster, Lalvani points to two things. 'I don't play golf, so I had to do something with my time and over the last couple of years, I have become very excited by AI,' he says. 'I felt it was an amazing space and one where I could leverage my decades of experience. So, I decided to give it one more shot and put together the kind of tools and real-world solutions that would have made such a difference when I was running my previous businesses. 'However, five years ago it would have been impossible to execute something like Euryka because AI wasn't sufficiently advanced. It's phenomenal how fast things have moved.' Lalvani has no quibbles with the support provided to new businesses here, either financially or in terms of the agencies giving advice. Where the State could do better, he says, is to 'look outside Dublin and create more local ecosystems across Ireland where start-ups can thrive. We also need to bring in more international context so people can address the needs of a global audience.' Lalvani says the hardest part of setting up Euryka has been working in an industry that moves at lightning speed. 'In creative AI, you can't afford to react to trends. You need to see what's coming next and build for it,' he says. 'Our challenge has been to innovate ahead of the market while simultaneously guiding and educating our users, from those just exploring AI for the first time to advanced teams designing fully automated, agentic creative systems. 'Balancing these extremes – making the future accessible today while architecting what's next – is demanding, but it's exactly what sets Euryka apart. We're not just adapting to change; we're shaping the evolution of creative intelligence worldwide.'
