Former Ires activist Vision to lose one board nominee as it cuts stake below 3%
Ires Reit shareholder Vision Capital, which secured board seats for two nominees last year to resolve a standoff with the company, is on track to see one of those representatives step down after it reduced its holding in the business below 3 per cent. Toronto-based Vision, led by Jeff Olin, started a year-long campaign in April 2023 for a sale or break-up of Ireland's largest private apartments owner . It reached a truce 14 months ago that resulted in two candidates it put forward joining the Dublin-listed company's board. Vision owned about 5 per cent of the stock at the time. The two directors were one-time chief operating officer of Canada's CIBC Bank Richard Nesbitt and Amy Freedman, an investment banker turned corporate consultant. They were part of a unanimous board conclusion last August, following a strategic review, that a sale or break-up of the company would not be in investors' best interests. Vision subsequently cut its stake in Ires, which is led by chief executive Eddie Byrne . Last September, its shareholding fell below 4 per cent and it reduced its holding further on Tuesday to 2.96 per cent, according to stock exchange filings. READ MORE The standstill agreement between Ires and Vision last year provides that Ms Freedman would step down from the board if the investment firm's stake were to fall below 3 per cent. Shares in Ires, which has 3,734 residential units in Dublin, have rebounded almost 16 per cent so far this year to €1.05, driven by falling European Central Bank (ECB) interest rates which have boosted investor appetite for property stocks. Still, the stock has pulled back by about 5 per cent from highs reached earlier this month as investors digest the Government's planned reform of rent controls . A planned new nationwide control system – set to fully kick in from March 2026 – would see rent increases for tenancies capped in most cases by inflation or a maximum cap of 2 per cent. However, landlords would be able to reset rents at the going market rate when a tenant leaves. Smaller landlords with three or fewer units will have to offer rolling six-year tenancies, while large ones will not be able to evict a tenant who has complied with their obligations except in very limited circumstances. Rent control for new apartments constructed following enactment of the legislation would be linked to inflation without the 2 per cent cap. This, the Government said, should 'provide certainty, clarity and encourage investment'.

‘As a student, I lived in a tower' – €3.4m home in Killiney includes a spectacular folly in the garden
Asking price: €3.4m Agent: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 2751000 Academia may be associated with ivory towers, but when Kim McClenaghan attended UCD in the 1990s he happened to live in his own cut granite version with spectacular views overlooking Killiney Bay. What's more, it was right beside his parents' house, and its all-important washing machine and fridge. You could do a lot worse, as student accommodation goes. McClenaghan was about seven in 1980 when his family returned form a stint living in Africa and bought Druid Lodge, a six-bed villa on over an acre on Killiney Hill Road on the south-east coast of Dublin. The house came with, among other things, a huge castellated folly tower in the garden – which must have been built at great expense by its 19th-century owners. According to the records, this likely was one William O'Hara. The home takes its name from a stone 'Druid's Chair', a megalithic cromlech which was documented near the site during O'Hara's time in residence. And while the garden tower would make a magical addition to any kid's playground, it made for an even better student pad. 'I think I probably had the best views in Killiney when I was in college,' says McClenaghan. 'The sitting room is nearly at the top, and it has the bedroom halfway up and a kind of study area. I could play my music there and there was a little path leading straight down to the main gate, so I could get in and out quietly.' Druid Lodge dates back to the early 1800s on the site of an 18th-century residence and is set off the road on its 1.2 acres, behind granite-pillared gates. The version we see today was built in the 1830s and extended substantially in the 1860s, with two front 'wings' added to take advantage of the views. While known as a 'spite tower', the 1850 vintage garden landmark was not built, as popular legend suggests, to mess up a neighbour's sea view. Historian Peter Pearson wrote that the Victorian owners of Druid Lodge simply wanted a better sea view for themselves. McClenaghan reckons his parents bought the property when people were not that interested in period houses. 'Whereas my father always had an appreciation of the historical context of things.' This 'appreciation' is evident in the interior, where, for example, the ornate interior door frames have been carefully stripped back. Other than the addition of a conservatory in the 1990s, the McClenaghans made no alteration to the property in over four-and-a-half decades there. The Virginia creeper-clad double-fronted facade has a central porch bay with the front door tucked discreetly to one side, but when you go inside there's nothing discreet about the grand entrance hall, which has a spectacular staircase and 4.2-metre ceilings. Either side of this are the two main reception rooms, one a formal dining room and the other, a drawing room. Both of these have the same 4.2m ceilings, intricate plasterwork and marble fireplaces. There is a 'butler's pantry' off the dining room, and the drawing room is connected to the conservatory. To the rear of the downstairs hallway, there is a living room and a country-style kitchen, a sunroom and two store rooms. The two main bedrooms are accessed via the grand staircase to the front of the house. Both of these have open fireplaces and views out over the bay, as well as en suite bathrooms accessed via a short flight of steps. To the rear, there's a stairs to the second floor where four further bedrooms are located, along with two bathrooms, and at the garden, or basement level, there is a separate, two-bedroom apartment, with a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen and a study. McClenaghan remembers Druid Lodge as a place of adventures for himself and five siblings. His father built a large treehouse, which provided for summer sleep-outs, while the location allowed the kids easy and safe access to the sea. 'There's a private road nearby that takes you to the beach in five minutes and then if you walk up Vico a little bit, there's a back entrance into the park.' When the family first lived here, the garden was very overgrown, he remembers: 'My dad let someone graze horses on it to cut the grass down and discovered a lawn tennis court under all the vegetation.' Despite the views provided by Druid Lodge's elevated position, McClenaghan says the house is actually quite sheltered. 'It is protected from the westerly winds the way it sits, it's east side to the sea. To our disgust as kids – we never got snow. The moderating influence of the sea seems to give it a milder microclimate.' One past resident who would have appreciated that microclimate was republican, newspaper founder and Young Irelander revolutionary John Blake Dillon. Dillon settled here at Druid Lodge after he returned from exile in America, to which he had fled following the ill-fated rebellion of 1848. His marriage to Adelaide Hart, whose family owned Druid Lodge, proved more successful than his revolutionary ambitions. Later he became an MP for Parnell's Home Rule party. 'I associate all the happiest memories of my life with Druid Lodge', Dillon later wrote in his memoirs. The property was more recently home in the 1920s to Walter Phillips, an accountant credited with 'mechanising' the finances of the Guinness Brewery. And now it's for sale along with its grand tower. Sherry FitzGerald seek €3.4m.

Look inside: Foxrock family home and guest apartment for €2.2m
Address : Greentops, Bray Road, Foxrock, Dublin 18 Price : €2,200,000 Agent : Janet Carroll Estate Agents View this property on The popular and much sought-after suburb of Foxrock began life in the late 1850s, when the Bentley and Fox families imagined a garden suburb in what was then a wilderness in comparison to the busy Dublin city-centre smog. Their planned self-contained community, designed to have plenty of green spaces and leisure facilities, began with the roads of Westminster, Brighton and Torquay, which at that time had access to the city via the Harcourt Street railway line. As houses popped up, so too did community life with the establishment of schools, churches and a golf club, founded in 1898, while racing at Leopardstown Racecourse had its first gallop in 1888. Said to be inspired by Sandown Park in the UK, the racecourse lies on a 220-acre estate which has become a cornerstone of Irish racing culture. Low-density, varying house styles which had good-sized front and rear gardens along with amenities far from the bustling city were what attracted buyers back then. More than a century later, these reasons still draw house-hunters at the upper end of the market. Greentops, a spacious detached home, lies directly opposite the junction with Westminster Road along the N11. In fact, you can see right up Westminster Road from the bedrooms to the front of Greentops, giving sylvan views of the mature plantings of older houses. But you don't really hear a thing despite its location, as the property has triple-glazed windows and is well set back from the N11. READ MORE [ Look inside: Architects' refurbished and extended Ballsbridge home for €1.75m Opens in new window ] Hall Kitchen Family room Sitting room in the main house Dining room in the main house It is one of five houses with unusual green tiled roofs along this stretch of the N11. All have generous sites and rear gardens. Greentops sits on a 0.14-hectare (0.34 acre) plot according to the planning permission granted in 2007 for additional accommodation on the site. This saw a single-storey shed/utility room knocked and replaced with a two-storey apartment to the side of the main house. At 112sq m (1,206sq ft), the apartment is more akin to a two-storey guest house given its size, two bedrooms, kitchen, dining and separate living space. This is in addition to Greentops – the main house in the photographs – which is a spacious five-bedroom residence. When the two-bedroom unit was being planned, its design also allowed for the unit to be amalgamated with the main house to create an even more spacious 298sq m (3,213sq ft) seven-bedroom home, if required. Testament to its current residents, it is in great condition, and the Ber rating of B2 is indicative of improvements over the years to make it what it is today: a fine, substantial home that will accommodate the needs of a large family on a generous site, close to a wealth of amenities. It has four reception rooms, including a family room, livingroom and diningroom – that lie off a well-appointed kitchen – in addition to a dual-aspect sittingroom that runs the full depth of the house. At its core is a triple-aspect kitchen with an Aga taking centre stage opposite a solid oak breakfast bar. Appliances include a Liebherr fridge-freezer and a wine fridge with buckets of storage space in wall-lined kitchen units. From here, there is access via sliding doors to a raised deck housing a barbecue, dining area and outside seating space. Overlooking the rear garden, which has a westerly aspect, it's a great space for family gatherings with lovely views over the well-stocked grounds. Kitchen in the apartment Dining area of the apartment Deck to the rear overlooking the garden The house stands on a third of an acre With five bedrooms – one currently laid out as a study – the principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect and has a Jacuzzi bath in its en suite, which is one of four en suites in this energy-efficient house. It will be the size, condition and the fact that the house has a separate self-contained two-bedroom guest house that will attract well-heeled house-hunters to Greentops. Its proximity to Foxrock Village, a golf course and indeed a racecourse, along with amenities such as shopping at Dunnes Stores's flagship Cornelscourt store, a selection of popular schools, boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, add to its offering. The property, which qualifies for a green mortgage, is now on the market, seeking €2.2 million through Janet Carroll Estate Agents.
