State's largest private landlord Ires REIT completes 'strategic exit' of Cork market 

Company said that a focus on the greater Dublin area will 'maximise efficiencies and its future operating leverage'

High occupancy levels and exceptional demand for rental accommodation have kept the Irish Residential Properties REIT (Ires) in a "strong financial position," the State's largest private landlord has said. 

In a trading update published on Friday, the company said it is on course to deliver a full-year net rental income margin of almost 77%, which is broadly in line with last year's.
