Minister of State Michael Ring, T.D performed the official opening of the new Donnybrook pitches in a joint venture between Leinster Rugby and the Department of Sport, where the main pitch and second pitch have been relayed in an artificial surface to facilitate the high number of games played at the ground.

Take a look at some of the photos from the day, which also feature the girls teams from St. Mac Daras, Templogue, St. Dominics, Ballyfermot, and Loretto Bray trying out the new state-of-the-art all-weather surface in Donnybrook.
