Post Script: Ires revolt not over, hacks grilled, Bertie gives China history lesson

Ires Reit quashes a revolution

It’s been a turbulent few months for Ireland’s biggest landlord, Ires Reit, with shareholders making a move against management, citing frustration over its direction.

In recent years, Ires Reit has consistently grown its revenues and wrestled the occupancy rate at its properties up to 99.4 per cent – an industry-leading level across Europe – but shareholders want more.

The recent AGM was marked by an unsuccessful push to oust chief executive Margaret Sweeney and chief financial officer Brian Fagan.
