The board of Ires Reit is facing an existential annual general meeting on Thursday as a group of dissident investors seek to oust senior management and force a sale of the company.

Shareholders will gather at Dublin’s Marker Hotel to vote on the return of Ires’s directors and a raft of resolutions, several of which are at risk of failing.
