10 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT We continue to concentrate on taking all actions the Board believes are required to best position and enhance the business to deliver value for Shareholders Continued Strategic Delivery As outlined in 2022, and detailed in our Annual Report, the Board responded to the challenging economic environment and real estate sector headwinds by refreshing our strategy to take account of the increased risk. This focus has ensured that the Company delivered a strong and resilient operational performance in 2023, achieving significant progress against key strategic objectives. 2023 saw further growth in revenue as well as maintaining stable operating margins, despite persistent cost inflation. I-RES remains well positioned to continue capitalising on the strong dynamics of the Irish market, and as the largest operator of scale in the market is well placed to support our continued delivery of value for all stakeholders. During 2023, we successfully executed a strategic asset disposal programme of c.€100m (c.200 units across our developments). The attractive returns delivered from this disposal programme reflects the quality of the assets and our value-add asset management, which is a core part of our operating model. By actively managing our portfolio of assets, we were able to utilise the proceeds of the asset disposal programme to strengthen the Company’s financial position, so that we are well placed to capitalise on potential opportunities, as well as supporting dividend payments to Shareholders. The Company continues to see strong year-on- year recurring income which feeds through to our dividend, an important contributor to shareholder returns, and the Board remains cognisant of the divergence between Net Asset Value of the Company and its market capitalisation. Under the Irish REIT regime, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves, I-RES is required to distribute at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each financial year to Shareholders. The Company paid an interim dividend of 2.45 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2023 and declared an additional dividend of 2.00 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2023. I-RES has an unmatched high-quality, modern asset portfolio of 3,734 residential properties with the portfolio achieving rental growth of 3.5% in 2023 through delivery of new supply and growth in rents. This was underpinned by the underlying strength of demand for high-quality rental accommodation in Ireland and the highly recurring nature of cash flows from our investment properties. As I referred to earlier, during 2023, reflecting the higher interest rate environment, the Company completed a strategic asset disposal programme and utilised the proceeds to strengthen our balance sheet.

11 We continue to have excellent visibility of future financing costs as 83% of total drawn debt is now fixed at a blended rate of 3.27%. The Group’s Net LTV as of 31 December 2023 was 44.3% (31 December 2022: 43.3%). While the year-end valuation of our portfolio saw incremental yield expansion due to shifts in market yields, our high-quality portfolio and strong underlying demand for our assets remain supportive of yields moving forward. Focus for 2024 Delivering Business Performance We continue to concentrate on taking all actions the Board believes are required to best position and enhance the business to deliver value for Shareholders, including seamlessly responding to changes in market conditions. We will continue our focus on ensuring operational excellence and strong day to day management and performance of the business. Strategic Review The Company announced on 8 January that it would commence a Strategic Review following the release of the preliminary results on 23 February 2024. Based on widespread engagement with our Shareholders in recent months, the Board recognises that many Shareholders welcome this comprehensive review at this time. As outlined in our recent Circular and public notifications related to the recent EGM, in addition to the macro challenges over the last 2 years, the Company has strategically developed a fully integrated operating platform, is one of the few players with scale in the Irish market and has a high-quality portfolio generating strong stabilised performance. Against this, there remains potential challenges for maximising shareholder returns including the prevailing restrictions on annual rent increases in Ireland and certain limitations associated with the REIT structure in Ireland. The demand fundamentals for private rental accommodation in Ireland remain strong and the early stages of recovery in real estate capital markets and transactions in Europe are starting to emerge slowly following the ECB decision to pause interest rate increases in September 2023. The Board had commenced preparation for a detailed and fresh look at strategy in Q4 2023 which it publicly announced on 8 January 2024 as a Strategic Review which began following the release of the Company’s preliminary results on 23 February 2024. The Strategic Review is being led by a Board Committee of newly appointed Chair Hugh Scott- Barrett, the CEO and non-executive directors Denise Turner and Phillip Burns and is being supported by Savills, a leading real estate advisory firm with local and international knowledge, in conjunction with our existing international financial advisers and brokers. The Board plans to provide Shareholders with a substantive update on the progress of the review ahead of the Company’s AGM to be held in May 2024. €697.3m Net Asset Value 2022: €847.4m €1,274.4m Total Property Value 2022: €1,499.0m 5.4c Adjusted EPRA EPS 2022: 6.9c 2023 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS The Board recognises that an improving but challenging market environment encompassing persistent inflation, a higher interest rate environment, and geopolitical uncertainty has driven continued low levels of liquidity in capital market transactions in Ireland and Europe generally. Notwithstanding the strong fundamentals of the Irish market, higher interest rates, persistent inflation, regulatory policy on private residential rents, and the requirements set out in the Climate Act 2022 for real estate, present challenges to short term returns for the asset backed real estate sector. We have had fulsome engagement with a significant majority of our Shareholders. As demonstrated by the results of the EGM, the majority of Shareholders support the Board’s proposed Strategic Review at this time, ensuring that all options are explored and evaluated to deliver maximisation of value for shareholders. The Company has incurred significant cost and use of management time during 2023 responding to the actions of Vision Capital. While the Company regrets the use of time and resources in this manner, it will continue to engage constructively with Vision, and other Shareholders, in addressing their concerns as our Strategic Review continues.

12 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance ESG principles form a key part of our strategy and continue to take focus across our business. We recognise the challenges that climate change will have on the planet, our communities and our business, and we are committed to playing our part in the transition to a more sustainable future. As a real estate owner, we understand the contribution of the built environment to global carbon emissions and climate change. With this in mind, we are dedicated to minimising our environmental footprint and promoting sustainable living and the Company is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050. Additionally, our ambition is to reduce our carbon emissions in line with the aspirations and commitment of the Paris Climate Agreement as we believe it is our responsibility to limit the carbon impacts of our assets and meet this industry challenge. Tom Kavanagh as the Non-Executive Director with direct responsibility for Workforce Engagement has continued his efforts through 2023, engaging with employees across the business to listen to their views as well as engaging with management on the annual Employee Satisfaction Survey. The Board were delighted to see that this year’s survey significantly exceeded all comparator benchmarks achieving a 90 percent employee satisfaction score, a testament to the great culture that exists across the Company. Diversity across the Board, Management, and employee base is a key focus area. The Company has previously received recognition for its already diverse and inclusive workplace achieving a Silver Investors in Diversity Award, as well as recognition for its Board and Management diversity. We continue to strive to achieve the highest levels of transparency, a core aspect of good governance, maintaining clear communication and transparent disclosure to all stakeholders. We saw another year-on-year improvement in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (‘GRESB’) assessment and maintained the highest score possible in the EPRA Sustainable Best Practice Reporting Award, and we continually review ratings and benchmarks to promote the highest levels of transparency to all stakeholders. Finally, the central component to our responsible business model is the provision of safe, secure and sustainable homes in the mid-market Irish residential sector. Our vision is to be the provider of choice for the Irish living sector, and we will continue to work with our residents as we minimise our environmental impact and maximise our contribution to the community. Board and Management Changes As previously announced and in keeping with best practice corporate governance guidelines, 2023 will be my final year as Chairman of the Board of I-RES. It has been an honour to serve as Chairman for over 9 years, and I am very grateful to all our Shareholders for their continued support during my tenure. As previously announced in January 2024, I have been succeeded as Chair by Hugh Scott-Barrett, following the publication of the Company’s 2023 preliminary results on 23 February. Hugh, who joined the Board in September 2022, brings a depth of experience to I-RES across corporate governance, capital markets, and listed real estate. I hope you will join me in wishing a warm welcome to Hugh. As announced on 13 March 2024, Eddie Byrne was appointed by the Company as CEO Designate with effect from 8 April 2024. Mr Byrne will succeed Margaret Sweeney as CEO and Executive Director of the Board with effect from 1 May 2024. On 31 October 2023, Margaret Sweeney notified the Board of her intention to retire from I-RES in April 2024, having served as CEO for the past six and a half years. Margaret will step down on 30 April 2024 following an agreed transition period with the CEO Designate. On behalf of the Board, I would like to sincerely thank Margaret for her immense contribution over more than six years as CEO of I-RES. Margaret has made an outstanding impact and has been an exceptional CEO since assuming the role in 2017. It has been a pleasure working alongside her. Margaret leaves the business well positioned for the future having assembled an exceptional team who will continue to deliver for all stakeholders. We were pleased to appoint Eddie Byrne as CEO Designate of I-RES. Eddie has an extensive track record across the real estate sector both in Ireland and internationally. His experience building teams, interacting with local authorities, raising capital, executing transactions, and developing strategic initiatives will be a significant addition as we continue our previously announced Strategic Review which is considering all strategic options available to maximise value for Shareholders. There were also other Board changes which occurred during 2023. In May, Aidan O’Hogan stepped down as Independent Non-Executive Director and Senior Independent Director of the Board. Aidan had been on the I-RES Board since 2014 and made a significant contribution to the growth strategy of the Company during that time. The Board is grateful for the commitment, stewardship, and insight provided during his tenure. I would like to welcome Denise Turner who joined the Board as Independent Non-Executive Director in May 2023 and brings significant real estate and local market knowledge to the Board. I leave the Board in good hands with an experienced Chair and a skilled and diverse membership with appropriate, highly experienced individuals and local market knowledge. The Board has been significantly refreshed. By the time of the 2024 AGM, more than 50% of the Directors will have a tenure of less than 3 years, and the Committee Chairs and the Senior Independent Director role will all have been rotated within the previous 12 months. Declan Moylan Outgoing Chairman

13 STATEMENT BY HUGH SCOTT-BARRETT, CHAIR OF I-RES I am delighted and privileged to be taking over as Chair and I am excited to lead the Company’s Strategic Review. On behalf of the Board, I would like sincerely to thank Declan for his immense contribution as Chairman of I-RES during his tenure. Declan’s leadership and guidance have been pivotal to the success of the I-RES growth strategy, and he leaves the Company well placed as a fully integrated operating business in a strong position, despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and recent macroeconomic headwinds. I am delighted and privileged to be taking over as Chair. Since being appointed as a Board member in September 2022, and subsequently appointed as Chair, I have visited a number of I-RES developments and engaged with members of the Senior Leadership Team and wider employee base to better understand the key differentiators of our business. I have been struck by Management’s focus on operational excellence, the commitment to enhancing the residents’ experience and the high- quality nature of our asset portfolio. I am excited to lead the Company’s previously announced Strategic Review. The Board intends to explore all strategic options available in order to maximise value for Shareholders. We look forward to providing Shareholders with regular status updates on the progress of our Strategic Review throughout 2024, beginning with an update ahead of the 2024 AGM in May. I have found our recent engagement with shareholders to be highly informative and look forward to continued engagement as we complete our Strategic Review.

14 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENT People are our priority at I-RES, and as we reflect on another successful year, I am proud to acknowledge our highly talented and experienced team. I-RES has a clearly defined strategy, operates in a market underpinned by robust demand fundamentals and a growing economy, and continues to deliver excellent operational results. Overview 2023 saw I-RES deliver another strong and resilient financial and operational performance. 2023 was characterised by increasing interest rates, persistent inflation and broader geopolitical challenges, however our focus on our strategic objectives allowed us to strengthen our balance sheet and position the Company for a return to growth in 2024. We continued to digitalise our service offering and now offer a market leading operating platform which further enhances our operational efficiency and residents’ experience. Decarbonisation remains a strategic priority for the Company, and in 2023 we made further progress on our sustainability journey. With macroeconomic conditions beginning to show signs of stabilisation, our strong balance sheet, high quality portfolio, experienced team, operating platform, and track record of operational excellence leaves us well placed to continue delivering for our investors and wider stakeholders. Continued Operational Excellence and Resilient Financial Performance During 2023, our revenue grew by 3.5%, to nearly €88 million driven by the full year impact of new assets and strong organic rental growth across our portfolio and underpinned by continued high occupancy levels throughout the year. Net Rental Income increased by 3.3% to €67.9 million, with a broadly stable margin of 77.3%. This strong trading performance illustrates the resilience of our core business model and the success of our initiatives to generate ancillary revenue streams. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 3.3% year on year to €56.0 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin broadly stable at 63.8%, demonstrating the cash generative nature of our operations, rigorous cost management, and process efficiencies created by leveraging our technology platform. The unprecedented rises in global interest rates resulted in a c. €10 million increase in our financing costs, giving rise to a decrease in EPRA earnings by 10.7% in 2023. Proceeds from strategic asset disposals, the net effect of which were broadly earnings neutral, were used during the year to strengthen the Balance Sheet by retiring higher cost debt under our Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in 83% of our debt now being fixed at an overall average rate of 3.27%. Residential occupancy rates continued to remain strong during 2023 at 99.4% as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: 99.4%), underpinned by highly efficient property management and strong

15 market dynamics in the Irish private rental sector. High occupancy rates, together with the impact of strategic asset disposals completed during the year, resulted in our Average Monthly Rent (“AMR”) per unit increasing to €1,774. Due to continued increases in market rents, we are seeing increased reversionary value underpinning our assets. Our AMR is c.16% below current market rents according to our independent valuers, illustrating the resilience of our income profile to fluctuating economic conditions, whilst simultaneously representing an opportunity for further growth and value into the future. Asset and Portfolio Optimisation and Valuation As outlined in our strategy for 2023, we had targeted an asset disposal programme for 2023 of €100 million. During the year, we executed disposals totalling gross proceeds of €96.5 million inclusive of VAT from the sale of properties, individual units and non-income earning assets. The disposals completed were broadly neutral to our earnings profile, represented an attractive return on original acquisition cost, and were in line with relevant book values at disposal dates. Proceeds of the programme completed to date were deployed in line with our capital allocation policy; strengthening our financial position by retiring higher cost debt under our existing revolving credit facility and protecting our earnings profile. At year end, and following the planned disposal programme, our asset portfolio consisted of 3,734 (31 December 2022: 3,938) high quality rental homes, with associated commercial space. The portfolio had a total value of €1,274 million, reducing from €1,499 million in 2022. The main factors contributing to this decrease were the strategic disposals of €96.5 million, and yield expansion arising from a shift in prime market yields of 75bps in 2023 due to increased interest rates and low transactional activity as indicated by external valuation firms. This revaluation of the assets under IFRS resulted in a non-cash revaluation loss of €141.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. This resulted in the Group’s IFRS NAV as at 31 December 2023 of €697.3 million (€847.4 million at 31 December 2022), and a decrease in IFRS NAV per share to 131.7c (2022: 160.0c). The Board notes the significant increasing reversionary potential of the portfolio rising to 16% at 31 December 2023, up from 11% in the prior year with a number of assets in excess of 25%. Prudent Capital Management The Company retains a strong financial position, with a robust balance sheet and ample liquidity. Acting in line with our disciplined capital allocation policy, the Company utilised the proceeds of the successful asset disposal programme by further 99.4% Occupancy 2022: 99.4% €56.0m Adjusted EBITDA 2022: €54.2m €87.9m Revenue 2022: €84.9m 2023 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS strengthening the balance sheet, retiring higher cost debt under our revolving credit facility. The Company’s Net LTV as of 31 December 2023 stood at 44.3% (31 December 2022 43.3%), within our targeted range, and with no debt repayments until April 2026 and laddering out to 2032. 83% of the Company’s total drawn debt is now fixed at a blended interest rate of 3.27%. Our weighted average cost of interest was 3.85% at 31 December 2023, well below our Gross Yield of 6.7% at year end. The Group continues to take a proactive approach towards balance sheet management and maintaining total gearing within a targeted level through value maximising portfolio management and disciplined capital allocation. The composition of our portfolio is under ongoing review, helping us to identify feasible opportunities to either add complementary assets or to dispose of existing assets including individual unit sales to generate attractive returns, depending on prevailing market conditions, and subject to the outcome of the Strategic Review. The use of proceeds for potential disposals are assessed based on prevailing operational, investment, and macroeconomic conditions, balancing the need to maintain a prudent financial position with targeting opportunities for growth. Financial Statements 174 Governance 92 Supplementary Information 248 Strategic Report

16 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 I-RES maintains a robust balance sheet with no short-term obligations and good visibility on future financing costs. We maintain a prudent approach to debt and are committed to retaining this strong balance sheet position to support the generation of attractive long-term risk adjusted returns for Shareholders. In the face of a challenging macroeconomic climate, and with unprecedented interest rate increases during 2023, our prudent capital management strategy provides us with cost certainty and leaves the Company well placed as market conditions begin to improve. We recognise the importance of dividends to our Shareholders and the Company will maintain its dividend payout policy at 85%+ of earnings, in line with REIT legislation. Digitalisation of our Operating Platform As technology continues to shape industries, its significance in residential real estate has become evident. Residents are increasingly seeking smart solutions for their tenancies and engagement with tenancy providers. Reflecting this trend, I-RES has evolved to digitalise and fully integrate its operating platform and now offers a market leading service to our residents as well as embedding strong operational efficiencies into the business processes. This results in better anticipation of resident needs, lower bad debts, significant cost savings through efficiencies, and the opportunity to generate ancillary revenue streams across the business. Communication with our residents has shifted from manual interactions to become fully digitalised. We have been able to improve our end-to-end resident experience from application, through onboarding, to accessing on-site support. The net result for I-RES has been improved communication, more efficient maintenance and service delivery, shorter response times, and increased resident satisfaction levels. Digitalisation has also supported our sustainability agenda, by significantly reducing the amount of paper we use to communicate with residents. Our technology offering will continue to evolve into the future, allowing us to provide a seamless experience to our residents. We will continue our focus on operational excellence. As a fully internalised business with a market leading fully digitalised operating platform, an important asset of the business, the management team remains focused on leveraging this platform to maximise operational performance across our key metrics including occupancy levels, NRI margin, and collection rates. We also remain focused on continuing to generate ancillary revenue streams, aggressively mitigating cost inflation where possible, and maintaining our NRI margin over time. Regulation and REIT Structure We believe that the current regulatory structure in the Irish housing market is contributing to a major supply-side issue. We welcome the current reviews by the Government and Departments of Finance and Housing of the PRS sector including rent regulation as well as the inclusion of the REIT structure in the Funds Sector Review. We will continue our engagement with industry stakeholders and government to support a Ashbrook, Clontarf Dublin 3 108 Residential Units

17 regulatory and investment structure in Ireland so that tenants can access accommodation at sustainable rent levels, while new stock can be delivered by the public and private sectors at reasonable returns to attract capital for investment, together addressing the significant lack of supply in the Irish rental market. Appropriateness of the REIT structure for the Company is one of the key matters that will be considered as part of the Strategic Review. Market Demand Remains Underpinned by Strong Fundamentals The market for private rental accommodation in Ireland remains supported by some of the strongest supply and demand fundamentals globally. Irish GDP growth is expected to outperform the EU average in 2024 and 2025 1 , underpinned by close to all time low unemployment (4.9% December 2023 2 ), and a population growing at the fastest 12-month rate (1.9% 3 ) since 2008. The imbalance between supply and demand remains significant, with estimates forecasting a build requirement of up to c.62,000 new homes every year to meet projected demand levels. Output sequentially improved during 2023, with the delivery of c.32,700 units, the highest level of housing output in the State since 2006. This was a continuation of the increase in supply seen during 2022 (c.30,000 units) and represents a significant increase of c. 48% over 2021. However, even with this increased level of output, supply will likely continue to lag demand over the medium-term, requiring the Government to increase its partnerships with the private sector. To meet the required levels of supply, it is estimated that c. €19 billion of housing development finance would be required, approximately 67% of which would need to be contributed by institutional sources 4 . Reflecting current macroeconomic conditions, institutional real estate transaction activity in Ireland was muted during 2023. Total transaction value for the year was c.€1.8 billion, down c.70% compared to 2022 and down c.60% compared to the 10-year average 5 with PRS investment of c.€240 million in 2023. Total transaction volumes were also well below recent historical averages. Market rents continue to grow, with average monthly rents for new tenancies in Dublin recorded at €2,113 in Q3 2023, an increase of c.10% versus the same period in 2022 6 . The impact of the 2% cap on rental increases continues to be profound on our business, with our portfolio under-rented to market rates by an average of c.16% at 31st December 2023. Empowering Our People People are our priority at I-RES, and as we reflect on another successful year, I am proud to acknowledge our highly talented and experienced team. Having fully internalised the operations of our business in 2022, our team now represents a wide and diverse array of nationalities, backgrounds, skills, and experience. Our culture and values foster collaboration, which is the driving force behind the success of our business. We continuously invest in our people, through the provision of modern working environments, flexible working arrangements, provision of professional training, frequent health and wellbeing initiatives, and opportunities for personal development. Satisfaction levels are measured through employee engagement surveys, which continuously produce excellent results, and I was delighted that the results of this year’s survey exceeded all comparator benchmarks, achieving a 90% score for a second year running. We are acutely aware of the importance of building and maintaining a strong workplace culture. Our goal is to ensure high levels of employee retention, whilst also showcasing that I-RES is a great place for talented individuals to excel. Sustainability at our Core We are dedicated to building a sustainable and responsible business that minimises our environmental impact and maximises our contribution to the communities we operate in. This commitment is underscored by the integration of ESG measures into our business strategy, ensuring that sustainability remains at the core of our operations. To ensure we keep pace with an evolving landscape and our commitments as a responsible and sustainable business, we undertook a review of our current approach to ESG and sustainability in 2022. This included refreshing our ESG materiality assessment, which is used to determine the focus areas for the business to help ensure the full ESG landscape is considered. We have committed to refreshing the materiality assessment on a periodic basis. In 2024, we will complete a double materiality assessment to ensure that our ESG strategy is still appropriately aligned and adapted to reflect any changes in priority areas and ongoing developments in sustainability. Our progress is reflected in the outcome of our carbon emissions reduction programme with like for like Scope 1 reducing by 59% and Scope 2 reducing by 1.

18 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 0.3%, having already reduced Scope 1 and 2 (wholly managed buildings) greenhouse gas emissions (on absolute basis) by 41% and 26% respectively in 2022. This aligns with our commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, and our aim to become Net Zero Carbon by 2050, reflecting our dedication to environmental responsibility. During 2024, we also aim to set out our pathway to Net Zero by 2050. This will include improving further the energy efficiency of our portfolio and sourcing energy from renewable sources. This will align with the net zero framework set out by the Better Building Partnership’s Climate Change Commitment. Our well-invested, modern portfolio gives us a strong starting point when it comes to delivering energy efficiency across our assets. 90% of the portfolio has a Building Energy Rating (BER) of between A and C, which in addition to supporting our sustainability objectives, supports our residents in reducing their energy usage. As referenced above, operating a responsible business is key to our success at I-RES. Central to that is operating in the mid-market sector, ensuring we deliver quality homes in well-connected locations, positioning us as the provider of choice for the Irish living sector and integrating through our social impact programmes with local communities. Sustainability achievements in 2023 included retaining the EPRA Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (sBPR) Gold Award and improving our Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) score, underpinning our commitment to transparency. We submitted to the Carbon Disclosure Project (‘CDP’) Climate Change questionnaire for the second time in 2023. We were happy to obtain a score of C for our first scored assessment and hope to advance our score in future assessments. We are committed to transparently disclosing on our ESG performance to enable all our stakeholders to review our continued delivery and permit comparability with our peers. This provides stakeholders with the confidence that we are turning our commitments and targets into action, and that we are delivering on our ambition to be a sustainability leader in our sector. The progress detailed above signifies our ongoing dedication to advancing ESG practices including for the benefit of our people, residents, and communities. It reflects our ambition to be a sustainability leader in our sector, consistently mindful of our impact on the planet as we deliver for our stakeholders. Retirement Announcement In October 2023, after eight years on the Board of I-RES, and over six years as Chief Executive Officer, the Company notified our Shareholders and wider stakeholders of my intention to retire at the end of April 2024. I feel privileged to have led this fantastic Company, and when I reflect on the past six years, I am extremely proud of the diverse and talented team of professionals who have been the driving force behind our success. The Company has been transformed over the last two years, becoming a fully integrated Irish company led by an experienced team with a market leading digital operating platform for our business operations and service to our residents. We have significantly scaled our portfolio which now stands at over 3,700 high quality rental properties across Dublin and Cork. Despite continued macroeconomic headwinds over the last 2 years, and as evidenced by our recent performance, I-RES continues to perform very strongly with a quality asset portfolio generating stable returns and significant cash flow supported by a robust balance sheet. Sustainability has become a strategic pillar for the Company during my tenure, and we have embedded sustainability into our operating model across all aspects of our business. We are committed to decarbonising and operating sustainably now and into the future as well as ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture and creating social impact where our residents become an integral part of the environment in which they live. I would like to thank our Chair, the Board, my management colleagues and the whole I-RES team for your commitment and support and for the privilege to work alongside you all over the last six and more years. I am grateful to our Shareholders, our banks, our residents, and many other business partners for their support in building a successful business, and I am confident that the I-RES team will continue to deliver successfully for all stakeholders into the future. The Board announced on 13 March 2024, that Eddie Byrne would succeed me as CEO on 1 May 2024, following an agreed transition period beginning on 8 April. I would like to warmly welcome Eddie to the Company and wish him well as he embarks on his tenure of leading I-RES to continued success. Outlook Despite recent stabilisation in the broader macroeconomic climate, higher interest rates and operating costs continue to present a more challenging trading environment when compared with recent years. Notwithstanding these challenges, I-RES operates in a market underpinned by robust demand fundamentals and a growing economy, and continues to deliver excellent operational results and strong cashflows. Into 2024 and beyond, the Company will continue to actively engage with our Shareholders and partners and seek to position the Company to maximise shareholder value, with the launch of the Strategic Review.

19 I-RES can play an important and active role in the delivery of new housing supply to the Irish market over the long-term. The Company is well positioned to do so, through its strategy of prudent asset management and disciplined capital management, strong track record of execution, and its leading operating platform. The Company continues to generate secure, recurring income streams with a high degree of visibility to support our dividend policy for shareholders. We continue to be acutely aware of the inflationary and cost of living challenges faced by our residents and we are confident that our well located, fully serviced, modern energy-efficient residential units represent good value in the current market. I would like to thank our residents, business partners and stakeholders who support us every day to make our business a success. In particular, I would like to thank our management and employees, the team dedicated to providing high standards of service and supporting our residents who are central to our business, with unwavering commitment in 2023 despite the current challenging market environment. I am grateful also for the support we receive from our Shareholders, funding partners and business partners on an ongoing basis. Finally, I would like to thank our Chair and Board for their support and guidance over the last year as well as their focus on the strategic development of the Company underpinned by strong governance. Margaret Sweeney Chief Executive Officer We are pleased to announce that Eddie Byrne will join I-RES as CEO Designate on 8 April 2024 and succeed Margaret Sweeney as CEO and Executive Director on the Board from 1 May 2024. Eddie has over 20 years’ experience at executive level in the real estate sector. Most recently, he was Joint Managing Partner at Quintain Developments Ireland, one of Ireland’s largest residential real estate developers, where he co-established the Irish operation that achieved over 5,000 planning permissions, built and sold c. 1,500 rental and private homes, and raised a significant amount of growth capital. He was previously Managing Director at Hudson Advisors Ireland, where he oversaw several billion euro of acquisitions and disposals of real estate assets in Ireland. He was also Chief Portfolio Officer at Netherlands based Propertize where he had responsibility for a large property portfolio across the Benelux countries and before that, worked in real estate, banking, and capital markets in North America. Commenting on the appointment Chair, Hugh Scott-Barrett said: “Eddie has an extensive track record across Irish and international real estate, including most recently in the Irish residential sector, and has significant experience in building teams, interacting with local authorities, raising capital, executing transactions, and developing strategic initiatives. Eddie’s experience will be a significant and complementary addition as we continue our previously announced Strategic Review which is considering all strategic options available to maximise value for Shareholders.” Eddie will work with the Chair and the Board in exploring value creation opportunities for Shareholders as part of the Strategic Review. Eddie has recently purchased 470,000 ordinary shares in I-RES bringing his total shareholding in I-RES to 500,303 ordinary shares.

20 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW In 2023 we have delivered another year of excellent performance across all key operational metrics. This strong operational performance was driven by continued high demand in the market, cost savings and efficiencies delivered by the strength of our internalised platform, including the launch of our I-RES living resident app along with the impact of delivery of our pipeline in 2022, all contributing to increased revenue, net rental income and Adjusted EBITDA. Our experienced team and portfolio of high- quality residential accommodation sets us apart from the market as we seek to ensure that we meet the needs of our residents. Our occupancy rate continues to exceed 99%, a market leading performance and was 99.4% at 31 December 2023 (99.4% at 31 December 2022). This was supported by our mid- market residential sector positioning where demand continues to outstrip supply. Our average monthly rent increased to €1,774 at 31 December 2023 (€1,750 at 31 December 2022) and our portfolio is currently estimated to be 16% below market rent for similar assets. Revenue increased by 3.5% in 2023 to €87.9 million, driven by continued organic growth, delivery of our pipeline in 2022 at market rents and continued high occupancy levels, offset particularly in the final quarter by reduced rental income following the successful delivery of our asset disposal programme. On a like for like basis revenue grew by 2.6%, driven by increases in line with the legislative cap on rental increases of 2%, improved occupancy throughout the year and ancillary income, primarily parking. We maintained our NRI Margin at 77.3% (31 December 2022: 77.5%) which is testament to our focus on deriving efficiencies from our platform and continued focus on cost management. Whilst we experienced increases in property taxes, utilities and OMC service charges, we have succeeded in mitigating this through stable repairs and maintenance costs, additional ancillary revenue and strong collections during the period which has been aided through our internalised platform. Adjusted General & Administrative spend increased slightly as the full year impact of building out the internalised team was complete. Non-recurring costs related specifically to the ongoing activist interaction and requisition of an EGM. We expect further costs associated with this matter to be incurred in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 3.3% to €56.0 million reflecting the strong underlying fundamentals of the business and the focused approach by management on cost savings, efficiencies and delivering returns despite the significant inflationary headwinds experienced in 2023. EPRA earnings declined by 10.7% in the year, driven by increased financing costs as a result of the rapid and significant interest rate rises introduced by the ECB with EPRA EPS reducing from 5.8c to 5.2c.

21 Our total investment property value reduced to €1,274 million reflecting the successful execution of our asset disposal programme, whilst yields expanded during the year reflecting the significant shift in interest rates. For the year ended 31 December 2023, a fair value loss of €141.8 million was recorded reflecting the softening of yields, offset by increased net rental income and operational performance. A notable portion of this had already been realised and recorded in the first half of the year with the fair value decrease split across the year. Our balance sheet remains strong and has been a primary focus in 2023 with a number of initiatives carried out to ensure strength heading into 2024. As outlined at the time of the 2023 AGM we embarked on a €100 million asset disposal programme, which we have successfully completed in Q4 2023 with gross sales proceeds of €96.5 million including VAT. The asset disposal programme has allowed us the flexibility to reduce our overall RCF facility size from €600 million to €500 million, effective 4 January 2024, reducing commitment fees by c. €700k per annum whilst leaving undrawn committed facilities of €127 million, providing I-RES with flexibility and optionality in 2024 as the market starts to show signs of stabilisation and we continue the Strategic Review announced on 8 January 2024. As part of our ongoing risk management, we have also engaged with the RCF syndicate banks and Private Placement Note holders to reduce our Interest Cover Ratio financial covenant from 200% to 175% to ensure sufficient headroom across our financial covenants. Our Net LTV is 44.3% (31 December 2022: 43.3%) which reflects the positive impact of the asset disposal programme to offset the reduction in the value of the assets. Our financing facilities are made up of c. €200 million of Private Placement Notes and a €500 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). The Private Placement Notes were executed in 2020 with maturities laddered from 2027 to 2032. At period end, €373 million of the RCF was drawn. The Company has entered into hedging arrangements in respect of its RCF, specifically interest rate swap agreements aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility in April 2026, converting the cost on this portion of the facility to a fixed interest rate of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. The Private Placement Notes are fully fixed with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% (inclusive of swap costs and excluding transaction costs). As at period end, approximately 83% of the Group’s drawn debt is fixed against interest rate volatility at a blended interest rate of 3.27% until maturity of the relevant facilities.

22 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Operational and Financial Results Net Rental Income and Profit for the year ended 31 December 2023 €’000 31 December 2022 €’000 Operating Revenue Revenue from investment properties 87,854 84,857 Operating Expenses Property taxes (1,168) (1,078) Property operating costs (18,772) (18,042) (19,940) (19,120) Net Rental Income ("NRI") 67,914 65,737 NRI margin 77.3% 77.5% Adjusted general and administrative expenses (2) (11,747) (11,406) Share-based compensation expense (153) (117) Adjusted EBITDA (1) 56,014 54,214 Non-recurring costs (2) (939) (5,748) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment (536) (536) Lease interest (212) (222) Financing costs (26,695) (16,803) Taxation (47) — EPRA Earnings 27,585 30,905 (Loss)/Gain on disposal of investment property (418) 2,795 Net movement in fair value of investment properties (141,791) (45,599) Gain on derivative financial instruments 86 35 Taxation (1,476) 44 Loss for the Year (116,014) (11,820) (1) Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before lease interest, financing costs, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, gain or loss on disposal of investment property, net movement in fair value of investment properties, gain or loss on derivative financial instruments and non-recurring expenses to show the underlying operating performance of the Group. (2) The non-recurring costs of €0.9 million were incurred in relation to dealing with activism in 2023 (Further costs of a similar level are expected for 2024 in relation to the EGM) (€5.7 million at 31 December 2022 relating to Internalisation) and general and administrative expenses of €11.8 million (€11.4 million at 31 December 2022) total the general and administrative expense costs of €12.7 million reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 (€17.2 million at 31 December 2022). Revenue In 2023, revenue increased by 3.5% to €87.9 million. This increase is driven by the delivery on our pipeline in 2022, particularly at Tara View and The School Yard which achieved rents in excess of our portfolio average, continued high occupancy across all properties and organic rental growth. Offsetting this, particularly in the last quarter was the disposal of assets in West Dublin. Net Rental Income (“NRI”) The NRI margin has been presented as the Company believes this measure is indicative of the Group’s operating performance. For the year ended 31 December 2023, NRI increased by 3.3% in line with increases in Revenue. The NRI margin remained broadly stable at 77.3% compared with last year which continues the strong performance and focus on margins in light of the inflationary environment experienced in the period and highlights the focus we have on cost management and deriving efficiencies from our new internalised platform. Adjusted General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses Adjusted G&A expenses include costs such as employees’ salaries, director fees, professional fees for audit, legal and advisory services, depository fees,

23 property valuation fees, insurance costs and other general and administrative expenses, and excludes non-recurring costs. G&A has increased slightly, in line with Revenue reflecting full year impact of internalised resources offset by strong cost management despite the inflationary environment and increased headcount in comparison to the prior period as management continues to focus on cost savings and efficiencies and stabilisation of the business after a year of transition in 2022. Non-recurring costs Non-recurring costs of €0.9 million in the year relate solely to the ongoing activism campaign and requisition of an EGM which was held in February 2024. We expect a similar amount of costs associated with this in 2024. Non-recurring G&A costs totalled €5.7 million for 2022 and related to the Internalisation in H1 2022. These costs were primarily for the IT programme and legal, consulting and investment bank advisory fees that related to the termination of the Investment Management Agreement and other one-off third-party advisory services. Net movement in fair value of Investment Properties I-RES recognises its investment properties at fair value at each reporting period, with any unrealised gain or loss on remeasurement recognised in the profit or loss account. In the period, the fair value loss on investment properties of €141.8 million is mainly attributed to a softening of yields driven by the wider market fundamentals including increased interest rates offset by gains made in relation to increased net rental income. Our Gross Yield was 6.7% at year end compared against a weighted average cost of interest of 3.85%. Financing Costs Financing costs, which include the amortisation of certain financing expenses, interest and commitment fees, increased for 2023 to €26.7 million from €16.8 million. The primary driver of the increased financing costs relates to the rapid ECB interest rate rises to combat the inflationary environment. Since 31 December 2022 we have reduced our debt by €84 million through the asset disposal programme and positive operational cashflow offset by dividend payments of €28 million. At 31 December 2023, €373 million was drawn from the facility. Our 2020 Private Placement Notes are fully fixed through hedging arrangements. In addition, in 2022 we fixed a significant proportion of the RCF, entering into €275m of interest rate swaps. At 31 December 2023, 83% of our drawn debt is fixed at a blended rate of 3.27% to maturity of the relevant facilities. Taxation The main driver of taxation for I-RES in the period relates to Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”). This arose on the profit on disposal of the Rockbrook site. CGT is payable on this as the site constitutes a disposal of an asset of the residual business as opposed to the property rental business of the Group, in accordance with the REIT legislation. Property Portfolio Overview The following table provides details of the Group’s property portfolio as at 31 December 2023.

24 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Portfolio Management The Group continues to explore and identify opportunities to create shareholder value. Whilst we continue to consider opportunities for growth and our long-term strategy is focused on delivering growth for the business, in 2023 management have been focused on maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet. As part of this we have looked to recycle capital back into the business. This has resulted in the sale of the Rockbrook site, disposal of a small number of units due to Part V obligations, the completion of the sales process of the townhouses at Tara View and the disposal of 194 units in West Dublin with a focus to manage the balance sheet and retire our most expensive debt. The completion of the asset disposal programme demonstrated significant return for shareholders whilst also aiding our ongoing capital and balance sheet management. The disposal of the 194 units in West Dublin represented an attractive return on the original acquisition cost and was in line with book value representing value creation for shareholders. The Rockbrook site delivered significant return on cost and the proceeds were used to pay down our debt and manage the Group’s balance sheet. As part of an acquisition agreement entered into in January 2022 the Company has a gross capital commitment of €24.1 million in respect of 44 units at Ashbrook, Clontarf. These units are expected to be completed in H1 2024. Net cash outflow after taking account of deposit paid and proceeds from disposal of Part V units is expected to be c.€20 million. Financing and Capital Structure I-RES takes a proactive approach to its debt strategy to ensure the Group has laddering of debt maturities and the Group’s leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio are maintained at a sustainable level. Our capital structure remains strong, with no debt maturities until 2026 and then laddered out to 2032. Net LTV at 31 December 2023 is 44.3%, LTV stands at 44.9% increasing as a result of the fair value loss recorded in the year, offset by the strategic asset disposal programme to manage this covenant. This remains comfortably below the 50% maximum permitted I-RES’s borrowings are as follows: As at 31 December 2023 €’000 31 December 2022 €’000 RCF Borrowings 373,020 457,020 Euro denominated Private Placement notes 130,000 130,000 USD denominated Private Placement notes (1) 67,892 70,107 Weighted Average Cost of Interest (2) 3.85% 2.31% (1) The principal amount of USD notes is $75 million. The movement during the period relates to foreign exchange movements. I-RES has entered into cross currency swap to fix this at €68.8 million. (2) Includes commitment fee of 0.7% per annum charged on the undrawn portion of the RCF facility. by the Irish REIT regime and the Group’s debt financial leverage ratio covenant. I-RES seeks to use borrowings to enhance shareholder returns over the long term. Our debt facilities are made up of our Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) and the c. €200 million (Euro Equivalent) Private Placement Notes. In January 2024, the Company exercised its right to reduce the RCF facility size from €600 million to €500 million, an option available to the Company given the successful completion of the c. €100 million asset disposal programme. The remaining undrawn committed facilities are €127 million providing the Company with liquidity and optionality as we head into 2024. The Private Placement Notes were issued in March 2020 and are made up of €130 million fixed interest and $75 million. On closing I-RES entered into a cross currency interest rate swap resulting in an overall weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% inclusive of swap costs and excluding transaction costs. The maturity of the notes is laddered over circa six, nine and eleven-year maturities, with the first repayment due in March 2027. The drawn debt facilities are predominantly hedged against interest rate volatility, with 83% of the debt fully fixed. As previously noted, in December 2022, the Company entered into hedging arrangements in respect of its Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rate swap agreements aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility have been entered into with a number of the counterparties forming the syndicate of banks in the RCF. These arrangements convert the cost of €275 million of the facility into a fixed interest rate of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. The Group has a weighted average drawn debt maturity of 3.2 years and no debt maturities before April 2026. The weighted average cost of interest is 3.85% for 2023 (31 December 2022: 2.31%). This increase is driven by the 450bps increase in ECB rates since July 2022. Beyond the remaining capital commitment for the forward purchase of 44 residential units at Ashbrook, there are no other current capital commitments.

25 Summary Overall, 2023 was a year focused on putting the building blocks in place for the next phase of the Company’s strategic goals post internalisation. This strategy will be informed by the Strategic Review which is underway. As announced by the Board we are very conscious of delivering shareholder value and the Strategic Review will allow us the opportunity to determine how best to maximise these returns. Heading into 2024, whilst sentiment around interest rates and inflation are certainly better than they were a number of months ago, volatility remains. We have demonstrated our ability over the last number of years, through the Covid pandemic, internalisation and the macro economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that I-RES can continue to deliver both operationally and financially through its strong disciplined capital management. Our operational performance has underlined the significant demand in the Irish market for high quality professionally managed residential accommodation. We continue to focus on ensuring a strong and flexible balance sheet is maintained. Through our investment in our people and technology platform, we have placed ourselves in a strong position as we continue to navigate the headwinds faced.

26 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MEASURES The Group, in addition to the Operational and Financial results presented above, has defined business performance indicators to measure the success of its operating and financial strategies: Average Monthly Rent (“AMR”) AMR is calculated as actual monthly residential rents, net of vacancies, as at the stated date, divided by the total number of residential units owned in the property. Through active property management strategies, the lease administration system and proactive capital investment programmes, I-RES increases rents as market conditions permit and subject to applicable laws. It has been presented as the Company believes this measure is indicative of the Group’s performance of its operations. Occupancy Occupancy rate is calculated as the total number of residential units occupied over the total number of residential units owned as at the reporting date. I-RES strives, through a focused, hands-on approach to the business, to achieve occupancies that are in line with, or higher than, market conditions in each of the locations in which it operates. Occupancy rate is used in conjunction with AMR to measure the Group’s performance of its operations. The Group’s AMR increased to €1,774 at 31 December 2023 a 2.2% increase on like for like properties in line with regulatory cap of 2%, while residential occupancy remained consistently high at 99.4%, indicative of the strong market fundamentals in the Irish residential rental sector. During the period, c.16% of the portfolio units were turned over and where applicable we applied rental increases in line with regulations. Gross Yield at Fair Value Gross Yield is calculated as the Annualised Passing Rents as at the stated date, divided by the fair market value of the investment properties as at the reporting date, excluding the fair value of development land, investment properties under development and assets held for sale. Through generating higher revenue compared to the prior year and maintaining high occupancies, I-RES’ objective is to increase the Annualised Passing Rent for the total portfolio, which will positively impact the Gross Yield. It has been presented as the Company believes this measure is indicative of the rental income generating capacity of the total portfolio.

28 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 EPRA Earnings per Share EPRA Earnings represents the earnings from the core operational activities of the Group. It is intended to provide an indicator of the underlying performance of the property portfolio and therefore excludes all components not relevant to the underlying and recurring performance of the portfolio, including any revaluation results and profits/losses from the sale of properties. EPRA EPS is calculated by dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. It has been presented as the Company believes this measure is indicative of the Group’s performance of its operations. EPRA Earnings per Share For the year ended 31 December 2023 31 December 2022 (Loss)/Profit for the year (€'000) (116,014) (11,820) Adjustments to calculate EPRA Earnings exclude: Loss/(Gain) on disposal of investment properties (€'000) 418 (2,795) Changes in fair value of investment properties (€'000) 141,791 45,599 Tax on profits on disposals (€'000) 1,476 — Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments (€'000) (86) (35) EPRA Earnings (€'000) 27,585 30,949 Non-recurring costs (€’000) 939 5,748 Adjusted EPRA Earnings before non-recurring costs (€’000) 28,524 36,697 Basic weighted average number of shares 529,578,946 529,560,795 Diluted weighted average number of shares 529,578,946 530,953,506 EPRA Earnings per share (cents) 5.2 5.8 Adjusted EPRA EPS before non-recurring costs per share (cents) 5.4 6.9 EPRA Diluted Earnings per share (cents) 5.2 5.8 The decrease in EPRA Earnings to €27.6 million (31 December 2022: €30.9 million) is driven by strong operational performance, the impact of the non-recurring costs items offset by higher financing costs in the period. Adjusted EPRA EPS was 5.4 cents for the year ended 31 December 2023 compared to 6.9 cents for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily driven by increased financing costs offset by strong operational performance. EPRA Net Asset Value In October 2019, EPRA introduced three EPRA NAV metrics to replace the then existing EPRA NAV calculation that was previously being presented. The three EPRA NAV metrics are EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (“EPRA NRV’), EPRA Net Tangible Asset (“EPRA NTA”) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (“EPRA NDV”). Each EPRA NAV metric serves a different purpose. The EPRA NRV measure is calculated to highlight the value of net assets on a long term basis. EPRA NTA assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. No deferred tax liability is calculated for I-RES as it is a REIT, and taxes are paid at the shareholder level on distributions. Any gains arising from the sale of a property are expected either to be reinvested for growth or 85% of the net proceeds are distributed to Shareholders to maintain the REIT status. Lastly, EPRA NDV provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liabilities.

For the purposes of EPRA NTA, the Company has assumed any such sales proceeds are reinvested or used to repay debt within the required three-year window. (2) Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS balance sheet. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group’s assets were undertaken over a period of several years, during which time (i) the Group remained a REIT; (ii) no new assets were acquired or sales proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were held for three years from completion; and (iv) those assets were sold at 31 December 2023 valuations, the sales proceeds would need to be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend within the required time frame or else a tax liability amounting to up to 25% of distributable reserves plus current unrealised revaluation gains could arise for the Group. (3) This is the purchaser costs amount as provided in the valuation certificate. Purchasers’ costs consist of items such as stamp duty on legal transfer and other purchase fees that may be incurred and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair value of investment for IFRS purposes. Purchasers’ costs are in general estimated at 9.96% for commercial and 4.46% for residential. Financial Statements 174 Governance 92 Supplementary Information 248 Strategic Report

30 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 MARKET UPDATE Macroeconomic backdrop The global economy experienced a period of dislocation through 2023, induced by several macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. Heightened inflation and the resultant aggressive interest rate hike cycle were in focus globally throughout the year as central banks worked towards achieving their primary objective of reducing inflation to target levels. As a result of these headwinds, the world economy is estimated to have experienced moderate GDP growth of 3.1% 1 in 2023. Moderate growth is expected to repeat again in 2024 as the delayed impact of higher interest rates passes through the global economy. Early 2024 has seen a dovish sentiment coming from central banks as inflation edges closer to long-term targets, with market expectations of interest rate cuts in the second half of the year. Geopolitics and stubborn core inflation present downside risk and will remain the focus through 2024, as conflicts across multiple geographies present a risk of further price shocks and supply chain disruption. Irish Economic Outlook The Irish economy experienced continued price inflation during 2023, though declining gradually throughout the year. The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (‘HICP’) ended 2023 at 3.2%, down from 8.2% a year earlier 2 , and is forecasted to moderate further to 2.3% 3 in 2024. Ireland’s GDP is forecasted to have contracted by 1.3% in 2023 3 , however the domestic economy, measured by Modified Domestic Demand (‘MDD’) is expected to have grown by 1.5% 3 . The contraction in GDP can in part be attributed to the normalisation of export activity in the pharmaceutical sector post-Covid as MNE investment and export activity in the sector grew by double digits in 2022, largely caused by pandemic-related factors. Irish GDP is expected to return to growth in 2024 and is forecast to reach 1.2% 4 , outperforming a projected EU total GDP growth rate of 0.9% 4 . The Irish labour market continues to show strength with unemployment ending 2023 at 4.9% 5 , compared to Euro Area unemployment expected to be 6.4% 4 . During a year in which global tech was characterised by large scale layoffs, IDA Ireland, the state agency responsible for attracting FDI into Ireland, reported winning 248 investments for Ireland in 2023, up 2.5% versus 2022, enabling the creation of almost 19,000 jobs 6 . Key sectors have continued to perform strongly in 2023, with tax revenue reaching €88.1 billion, an increase of 6%. An Exchequer surplus of €1.2 billion was recorded in 2023, down from 2022 as the growth in tax revenue was offset by an increase in public expenditure and the additional transfer of €4 billion from the Exchequer to the National Reserve Fund during the year. A General Government Surplus of just under €8 billion is estimated for last year, equivalent to 2.75% of GNI 7 . Rental Market Fundamentals Remain Supportive Demographic trends such as population growth, aging population and reduction in average household size are continuing to positively influence demand in the Irish rental market. Ireland has seen strong population growth over the last decade, with population now an estimated 5.28 million people, including estimated growth of nearly 100,000 people (+1.9%) in 2023, the largest 12-month population increase since 2008. The current estimated population represents a +14.5% increase over the last decade 8 . In the decade to 2022, there were only 151,000 total new dwellings completed in Ireland, 29,000 of which were apartments. It is welcome to see that delivery of new housing has reached 32,695 in 2023 which exceeds the Government’s target of 29,000 for the year and is well above the trailing 10-year average and 10% above the delivery of 29,800 new units delivered in 2022 9 . However, current supply levels are still well below the estimated level required per year to bridge the gap between supply and demand which is estimated to require the delivery of up to c.62,000 homes per year until 2050 10 . 1 OECD Economic Outlook, Interim Report February 2024 2 CSO - Consumer Price Index December 2023 3 Central Bank of Ireland Q4 2023 Bulletin – December 2023 4 European Commission Winter 2024 Economic Forecast – February 2024 5 CSO - Monthly Unemployment December 2023 6 IDA Press release 15 December 2023 7 Press release - From Department of Finance; Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform - Published on 4 January 2024 8 CSO Population and Migration Estimates, April 2023 9 CSO New Dwelling Completions 10 Daft.ie - House Price Report Q3 2022 11 Department of Finance Public Consultation Paper June 2023 12 RTB Rent Index Q3 2023 13 Daft.ie – Rental Price Report Q3 2023 14 CBRE 2024 Ireland Real Estate Market Outlook

31 Although the housing development pipeline has come under increased pressure due to higher interest rates, high construction costs, and lengthy planning procedures, completions are still forecast to reach 31,000 and 31,500 in 2024 and 2025 respectively 11 , lagging the estimated output needed to meet demand, meaning that the supply and demand imbalance will likely continue to influence the housing sector over the medium term. The increasing demand for housing is likely to be more pointed towards the rental sector as increased mortgage rates have made renting relatively more affordable. Rental Index The national Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) increased by 2.9% in the 12 months to November 2023, with prices in Dublin rising by 0.9% and prices outside Dublin up by 4.4%. According to the Residential Tenancies Board (“RTB”), the standardised average monthly rents in new tenancies in Q3 2023 were €1,598 nationally and €2,113 in Dublin, year on year growth of 11% and 10% respectively. Alternatively, the average rent for existing tenancies was €1,357 nationally and €1,788 for Dublin, showing a clear spread between rents at new and existing properties 12 . Fundamentally, there is still a significant undersupply of homes for rent, with the number of properties listed for rent on Irish property listing site DAFT.ie at the beginning of November 2023 at 1,800 homes nationwide. This is strikingly low in a country that recorded at least 330,000 households in the private rental market during the 2022 census 13 . Real Estate Investment As a result of the current macroeconomic headwinds experienced in 2023, real estate investment activity has slowed both globally and in the Irish market. Transaction activity was muted in 2023 as market participants grappled with heightened interest rates and the difficult financing environment. Real estate investment transactions totalled €1.85 billion in Ireland in 2023, the lowest year of spend since 2013. The residential sector represented 23% of total real estate spend in the year 14 . While global markets remain volatile, real estate pricing will continue to be impacted by the macro drivers that are currently dominant. It is expected that stabilising values, reducing inflation, and greater certainty over borrowing costs going forward will induce growth in investment flow in real estate markets. As the Irish residential market is severely undersupplied and continually shows exceptionally strong fundamentals, including a skilled workforce and business-friendly environment, which in turn is helping to sustain rental cashflows and returns, we believe in the medium-term, that the PRS market in Ireland remains a compelling area for investment.

I-RES is the provider of choice for the Irish living sector, known for providing excellent service, operating responsibly, minimising environmental impact, and maximising our social impact in the communities where we operate. The emergence of macroeconomic headwinds during 2022 saw the Board pivot from its core strategy focused on value maximisation through the internalisation of management and growth to a strategy of continuned value maximisation through risk management which centred on our key strategic pillars: Operational Excellence, Asset Management, Capital Allocation, and Sustainability. Market Fundamentals Continue to Support a Growth Strategy The market for private rental accommodation in Ireland remains supported by some of the strongest demand fundamentals globally. Demand for high quality, sustainable residential homes in Ireland continues to be underpinned by strong economic indicators including near record low unemployment and an economy which is forecast to continue outperforming the EU average in 2024 and 2025. Demographic trends such as a reduction in average household size, an ageing population, and a population growing at the fastest 12-month rate since 2008 imply that strong levels of demand are expected to continue over the medium-term. Despite sequential improvement in the delivery of housing output in the state during 2023 (c. 32,700 units), consensus amongst industry experts indicates that c. €19 billion of housing development finance is required to meet the level of supply required, with c. 67% to be contributed from institutional sources 1. Shifting Landscape: Early Signs of Improvement but Challenges Remain 2023 presented significant strategic challenges and uncertainties for I-RES and the wider real estate sector in Ireland, with the continuation of interest rate increases and persistent inflation leading to a challenging financing environment and driving a sharp reduction in transaction activity during the year. However, early signals of improvement in leading macroeconomic indicators provide optimism for 2024 and beyond. The expectation of earlier than anticipated interest rate cuts is filtering through to debt costs and should support debt gradually becoming more accretive through 2024 2 , while overall inflation in Ireland is forecasted to decrease from 5.2% in 2023 to 2.3% in 2024 3 . Regulation, including the 2% cap on rent increases, continues to present strategic challenges for our business. I-RES participated in the current reviews by the Government and Departments of Finance and Housing of the PRS sector including rent regulation as well as the Funds Sector Review including the REIT structure. We will continue our engagement with industry stakeholders and government to support a balanced regulatory and investment structure in Ireland.

Launch of Comprehensive Strategic Review The I-RES Board continuously reviews the appropriateness of the Company’s strategy for prevailing market conditions. Reflecting the challenges presented by macroeconomic uncertainty during 2022 and 2023, and as part of a review of the Company’s strategy, the Board decided that a risk management approach was required. The Board took several key decisions subsequent to this review of strategy to safeguard the Company while market conditions remained challenging. On 8 January 2024, reflecting early signs of improvement in the macroeconomic environment, the Company announced that it would conduct a Strategic Review to consider and evaluate all strategic options that may be available to maximise and unlock value for Shareholders. The Strategic Review commenced after the publication of the Company’s full year 2023 financial results on the 23rd February 2024, and is being led by a Board Committee comprised of newly appointed Chair Hugh Scott-Barrett, the CEO, and non-executive directors Denise Turner and Philip Burns. The Review will be supported by Savills, a leading real estate advisory firm with local and international knowledge, in conjunction with the Company’s existing international financial advisors and brokers. While the Board remains confident in the long- term prospects and strategy of the Company, the Board recognises that the Company, like many real estate focused companies, faces several challenges and opportunities, influenced by factors including macroeconomic conditions, regulatory frameworks, and commercial market conditions. The Board recognises there is a requirement for change in the current business model and remains open to exploring all scenarios in the Strategic Review where Shareholder value can be maximised. In this regard, the Strategic Review will comprise a comprehensive consideration of all strategic options available to the Company to maximise value for Shareholders, with the potential to unlock the inherent value contained within the I-RES portfolio of high-quality residential assets and the operating platform. This will include, but not be limited to: ↘ New strategic initiatives, including leveraging the existing capabilities of I-RES’ market leading operating platform through generation of capital light revenue streams and/or Joint Ventures ↘ Consolidation, combinations, mergers or other corporate action to achieve greater scale and liquidity in the Company’s shares ↘ A review of the merits of “de-REITing” the Company, and the existing AIF/AIFM structure ↘ The sale of the entire issued share capital of the Company ↘ Selling the Company’s assets in part or whole and returning value to Shareholders The Board intends to provide status updates to the market at key milestones throughout the Strategic Review process, beginning with an update ahead of the Company’s AGM in May. The Board remains committed to executing on its existing strategy of operational excellence, value maximising portfolio management, disciplined capital allocation, and sustainability whilst the Strategic Review is in progress. The Company will continue to review any asset management opportunities that arise where value for shareholders can be delivered. There is no certainty that any change will result from the Strategic Review or that any sale, strategic investment or other transaction will be concluded, nor as to the terms on which any offer, strategic investment or other transaction may be made. I-RES remains well placed to capitalise on positive market dynamics, with our market leading operating platform, a modern portfolio with strong sustainability credentials, and a robust financial position. 33 Strategic Report Governance 92 Financial Statements 174 Supplementary Information 248

36 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 INVESTMENT POLICY The Group’s aim is to assemble a portfolio within its focus activity of acquiring, holding, managing and developing investments primarily focused on residential rental accommodations. Focus Activity The Group’s aim is to assemble a portfolio within its focus activity of acquiring, holding, managing and developing investments primarily focused on residential rental accommodations and ancillary and/or strategically located commercial property on the island of Ireland, principally within the greater Dublin area and other major urban centres (the “Focus Activity”). The vast majority of such properties will form the Group’s property investment portfolio for third party rental. The Group may also acquire indebtedness secured by properties (including in respect of buy-to-let properties) within its Focus Activity where it intends to gain title to and control over the underlying property. There is no limit on the proportion of the Group’s portfolio that consists of indebtedness secured by properties. Consistent with the Focus Activity, the Group may consider property development, redevelopment or intensification opportunities, in particular, the completion of building out the Group’s current development sites, where the Directors of the Company consider it appropriate having regard to all relevant factors (including building risk, lease up risk, expected returns and time to complete). The Group may also acquire properties and portfolios which include other assets outside of the Focus Activity, subject always to a maximum limit of 20% of the overall gross value of the Group’s property assets, provided there is a disposal plan in place in connection with such assets which have been deemed non-strategic and do not meet the Group’s investment objectives or which could otherwise have an adverse effect on the Group’s status as an Irish real estate investment trust. Gearing The Group will seek to use gearing to enhance shareholder returns over the long term. The Group’s gearing, represented by the Group’s aggregate borrowings as a percentage of the market value of the Group’s total assets, will not exceed the 50% maximum permitted under the Irish REIT Regime. The Board of the Company (the “Board”) reviews the Group’s gearing policy (including the level of gearing) from time to time in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, fair value of the Group’s assets, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors the Board may deem appropriate, with the result that the Group’s level of gearing may be lower than 50%. The Board may also from time to time consider hedging or other strategies to mitigate interest rate risk. Investment Structures The Group also has the ability to enter into a variety of investment structures, including joint ventures, acquisitions of controlling interests, acquisitions of minority interests or other structures (whether by way of equity or debt) including, but not limited to, for revenue producing purposes in the ordinary course of business, within the parameters stipulated in the Irish REIT Regime. There is no limit imposed on the proportion of the Group’s portfolio that may be held through such structures.

37 Warehousing/Pipeline Agreements If the Group is unable to participate in sales processes for property investments because it has insufficient funds and/or debt financing available to it, including where its gearing is at or close to the maximum permitted level under the Irish REIT Regime, the Group is permitted to acquire property investments that meet the criteria specified in its Investment Policy (including the acquisition of shares in property holding companies) from time to time in accordance with the terms of warehousing or pipeline arrangements entered into or to be entered into by it with third parties, in each case, without shareholder approval and for a price calculated on a basis that has been approved in advance by the Directors of the Company. Restrictions Pursuant to the Irish REIT Regime, the Group is required, amongst other things, to conduct a Property Rental Business consisting of at least three properties, with the market value of any one property being no more than 40% of the total market value of the properties in the Group’s Property Rental Business. Further, at least 75% of the Group’s annual Aggregate Income will need to be derived from its Property Rental Business and at least 75% of the market value of its assets, including uninvested cash, will need to relate to its Property Rental Business. In addition to the foregoing, the Group will not do anything that would cause the Group to lose its status as a real estate investment trust under the Irish REIT Regime. Changes to the Investment Policy Material changes to the Group’s Investment Policy set out above may only be made by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules of Euronext Dublin and notified to the market through a Regulatory Information Service. If the Company breaches its Investment Policy, the Company is required to make a notification via a Regulatory Information Service of details of the breach and of actions it may or may not have taken. A material change in the published Investment Policy would include the consideration of investments outside of the Focus Activity, other than as permitted under this Investment Policy. For as long as the Company’s ordinary shares remain listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin, any changes to the Company’s Investment Policy must be made in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules of Euronext Dublin. I-RES has invested in accordance with the investment policy. Please refer to the property overview table on page 23 for further details.

40 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW Creating Long-Term Value Through Environmental and Social Responsibility As a Company we recognise the challenge that sustainability and climate change present for our business and planet, and we are committed to playing our part in the transition to a more sustainable future. Our ESG strategy is built on three core pillars: 1. Operating Responsibly; 2. Protecting the Environment; and 3. Building Communities. In 2021, we conducted a Company-wide Materiality Assessment to identify sustainability topics material to our business. Our ESG Materiality Assessment informs our ESG strategy and ensures we stay abreast of emerging themes and legislative requirements. This assessment informs and guides our strategy and is regularly reviewed. In 2024, to ensure ongoing alignment and adaptation of our ESG strategy, we will revisit this assessment as part of a Double Materiality Assessment. A Double Materiality Assessment involves examining both the external environmental and social impacts on a company (outward-facing materiality) and the internal organisational impacts of sustainability issues (inward-facing materiality). This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of material sustainability topics affecting the business. As advocates of the UN SDGs, we have aligned our ESG strategy to contribute to seven specific goals (SDG 3, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17). Please refer to our ESG Report 2023 for details. This alignment ensures that our business positively impacts the spaces we manage and the communities who live and work there. We are currently integrating climate physical and transition risk management into our governance approaches. We have aligned our ESG strategy delivery approach to ISO 14001 (2015) for Environmental Management. We have a structured framework in place for continual improvement. Alongside this, we completed an assessment of our ESG risks and opportunities mapping this across to internal business units and updating our processes as necessary.

50 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW Responsible Procurement Rethinking how we source our products and services We value our suppliers and consider them essential partners in meeting the needs of our residents. Our suppliers play a central role in our operations and support us in achieving our environmental goals. We partner with suppliers who uphold ethical and environmental principles that align with our core values, and we actively engage with our suppliers to ensure these principles are upheld. Positively Impacting Our Supply Chain In 2022, we began a programme to actively engage with our suppliers on ESG topics. This programme, continued in 2023, has proven highly successful. When we established a baseline for our Tier one suppliers only 15 percent had an ESG policy in place. By the end of 2023, this figure had increased to 50 percent. In addition, a further 30 percent were working on it. As part of our active engagement with suppliers, we have informed them about our ESG focus areas and communicated with them our requirement for them to align their ESG policies with our Supplier Code of Conduct. Supplier Questionnaire In 2023, our internal training programmes empowered our employees with a deep understanding of our supply chain requirements, allowing them to actively apply this knowledge in their engagements with our suppliers. Through a series of internal workshops, we developed a framework for a supplier questionnaire that will be rolled out in 2024. This framework has been aligned with industry best practice for supply chain management. In 2024, we will issue the supplier questionnaire to develop a deeper understanding of the ESG competence of our suppliers and allow us to rank them individually. To support the roll-out of the supplier questionnaire, during 2023 we developed a roadmap and set of training materials to be shared with our suppliers during Phase Two of our supply chain engagement. We aim to ensure that our suppliers are fully aware of our sustainability targets and commitments, what a sustainable supply chain means in practice and our requirements of them. We are committed to ongoing engagement and collaboration with all of our suppliers to encourage them to improve their sustainability approaches. Sustainable Fitouts In all of our recent fitouts we have prioritised locally sourced products, and products with minimal waste packaging. We exclusively source wood products carrying the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label and carefully select products with foams that are free from harmful chemicals and that do not produce off- gassing. Additionally, our selection of fabrics consist of the highest possible percentage of recycled cotton, linen and wool. We were delighted to be recognised at the Fitout Awards, winning ‘Sustainable Fitout of the Year’ for The School Yard.

51 Connecting with Our Employees and Investing in Them Our employees are the backbone of our business and key to our success. We invest in them so that they feel rewarded and have a real sense of job satisfaction. Equipping our teams with the right skills for their roles is incredibly important for us as a business so that they feel empowered as they go about their day-to-day business. Our resident facing teams are directly engaged with customers impacted by the recent cost of living crisis. Ensuring they have the right skills to respond empathetically to our residents is a crucial part of our service delivery. In 2023, I-RES conducted an Employee Survey with an 81.5 percent participation and an employee satisfaction score of 90 percent. The survey was conducted by an independent research agency. Please refer to our 2023 ESG Report for the results. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion I-RES has proudly earned the Silver Investors in Diversity Award from the Irish Centre for Diversity in 2022 and 2023, reflecting our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace. We are actively working towards a Gold Award in 2024. In Q1 2023, I-RES established the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, functioning as an employee resource group representing the entire organisation. The Committee meets regularly to discuss various topics, including culture, social roles and language. These discussions are integrated into our internal training programmes and employee engagement initiatives. The Committee embodies the ‘One Team’ approach inherent to I-RES’s business model, ensuring that all staff and residents feel valued, listened to, and can actively contribute to driving organisational improvements. We take immense pride in our open and transparent business model, recognising it as essential to realising our ambitious goals in the realm of diversity, equity and inclusion. 99% 99 percent of respondents are willing to put in extra effort for I-RES 90% 90 percent overall satisfaction score Design Thinking training day Strategic Report Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Governance 92

OUR ROAD TO NET ZERO A climate neutral built environment by 2050 Recognising the significant role of the built environment in global carbon emissions and climate change, I-RES is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050. We acknowledge our responsibility to address the carbon impacts of our assets, encompassing embodied carbon and resident emissions beyond our operational control. We have strategically invested in a well located energy efficient and sustainable portfolio of modern property assets with an average age of 15 years. Enabling our residents to save on energy costs in a period of structurally higher energy prices. Margaret Sweeney Chief Executive 54 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW Protecting the Environment

Our investment policy has been updated to incorporate climate and carbon considerations. We are developing a pathway to achieve Net Zero by 2050, focusing on enhancing the energy efficiency of our portfolio and sourcing energy from renewable sources. This approach aligns with the Net Zero framework outlined in the Better Building Partnership’s Climate Change Commitment. We continue to strengthen the foundations laid in previous years to advance towards Net Zero. A pivotal aspect of this progression was the development of a bottom-up Science- Based Target for our assets aligned to SBTi guidance. This is in line with our commitment to the 2015 Paris Agreement and Ireland’s Climate Action Plan.

56 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW Energy and Waste Performance We continually review and identify opportunities to either reduce or eliminate carbon emissions from our business activities. We monitor, benchmark and report on all available energy and waste data. Our monitoring program began in 2019. Since then, we have reported year on year reductions across our Scope 1 and 2 emissions on a like for like basis. I-RES has expanded its data collection program to encompass Scope 3 emissions data. While we currently collect and report 100 percent of landlord- obtained energy data for wholly-owned properties under our management, we acknowledge that our Scope 3 emissions, stemming from resident activities beyond our control, constitute the majority of emissions. Monitoring these emissions is crucial for identifying carbon hotspots and tracking progress. Understanding residents’ energy use is integral to informing our Net Zero strategy. Higher carbon- intensive assets can be prioritised for for energy efficiency initiatives. We are actively collaborating to receive 100 percent of the energy data in the future with our data gathering program. Our sector must act swiftly to transform existing buildings and improve new developments if we are to limit emissions adequately. We take our responsibility in this regard seriously. By upgrading performance across our portfolio now, while pursuing both short and long-term emissions cuts, we aim to future-proof assets and lower climate risk exposure over time. For Scope 2 performance of I-RES wholly managed assets, please refer to our 2023 ESG Report.

Like-for-like consumption and intensities for both gas and electricity, and the associated GHG emissions, have all decreased between 2022 and 2023. Scope 1 GHG intensity fell by 59%, driven by a non-recurring reduction in consumption at I-RES Headquarters. Scope 2 GHG intensity fell by 16%, which reflects the ongoing energy saving initiatives implemented across all offices.

57 Nature Friendly Spaces All-Ireland Pollinator Plan We have actively championed the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan (AIPP) – a five-year initiative (2021-2025) dedicated to supporting pollinating insects, particularly bees and enriching biodiversity. Our AIPP commitment began with the introduction of pollinator gardens to our communal spaces in 2021, since then, we have extended our efforts to align all assets directly managed by I-RES with the AIPP. We are also partnering with our third-party managing agents to ensure the widespread adoption of AIPP initiatives. This year our commitment to the AIPP took tangible form through various resident engagement events. These included planting days, an insightful webinar by AIPP, and a children’s competition to design pollinator signs. These initiatives not only raised awareness but also garnered participation from many of our residents. Our dedication goes beyond mere introduction; we have actively sought measurable impacts. The success of our engagement events in 2023 underscores our commitment to fostering environmental awareness within our communities. We strive to make a lasting positive impact on pollinator populations and contribute to the broader goals of biodiversity enhancement within our portfolio. 623 m 2 reserved for pollinator friendly flower beds Waste Operational Performance Highlights for 2023 Like-for-like 354 tonnes 386 tonnes (2022) Absolute 501 tonnes 543 tonnes (2022) Recycling Rate 26% 29% (2022) Diversion from Landfill 100% 100% (2022) Figures are for assets directly managed by I-RES.

Our stakeholder engagement programme has identified key groups within these communities where we can provide support throughout the year.

63 CITYWISE EDUCATION This year we launched our partnership with Citywise Education in West Dublin. Citywise Education is an educational charity based in Tallaght, Dublin. It focuses on character-building, education and sporting programmes for children, with the aim of enhancing educational achievement in the areas where they operate. Pictured: Meeting the Students at Citywise Education BALLYFERMOT MEN’S SHED As part of our programme we engaged the Ballyfermot Men’s Shed - a local community group which forms part of a larger grassroots operation in Ireland who provide men with the opportunity to maintain and improve their wellbeing on their own terms and within their communities. The group built a large bug hotel for our Coldcut Park development which was installed during a resident engagement day at the development.

66 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 We fully embrace digital transformation within I-RES to drive innovation through technology and transform our business and the resident experience. Since 2022, we have strategically invested in the creation of I-RES Living, our unique vertically integrated operating platform. I-RES Living combines market-leading technologies with our 95-strong team, alongside our country-leading local knowledge as the leading and most-experienced professional private residential landlord in Ireland. The I-RES Living Platform has already significantly transformed our operations and opens up further opportunities for the evolution of our digital transformation roadmap. CASE STUDY 85% Satisfaction Rate A major milestone in 2023 was the launch of our I-RES Living mobile app and web portal across the whole portfolio. Within six months we had almost 80% coverage (at least one user per apartment) across I-RES homes and an 85% satisfaction rate. The I-RES Living Platform

67 For the business, the I-RES Living platform digitises many of our existing customer onboarding, relationship management and engagement processes, and also opens up opportunities for real digital transformation: CLICK-OF-A-BUTTON COMMUNICATIONS e.g., we now have almost 80% coverage (at least one user per apartment) on the I-RES Living mobile app – providing access to our services and latest updates at the touch of a button. 360 DEGREE VIEW OF CUSTOMER e.g., a service request raised on the I-RES Living app can be handled directly by one of our in-house maintenance teams using a tablet, and the entire request is tied to our procurement and accounting processes and also recorded as part of the resident lifecycle. With the launch of our new website, we can track the end-to-end resident experience from initial contact to move-out. REDUCED DATA ENTRY AND PAPERWORK FREES UP RESOURCES AND MINIMISES WASTE - e.g., digital-based inspections & turnovers will deliver savings, with accuracy and speed as there is no more data re-keying - we are saving printing, handwriting, signing, and scanning individual attachments to units. These system improvements free up time for more value adding activities for the business and our residents. SIMPLIFIED PROCESS FLOWS IMPROVES SERVICE LEVELS e.g. automated bank reconciliation has replaced a huge ongoing and onerous task - providing more peace of mind for residents and improved collections data and reduced resource requirements for I-RES. BETTER INFORMATION ENABLES BETTER DECISION-MAKING e.g. increased efficiencies in reporting, more detailed information, means ability to generate more and better reports that our team can look at earlier – giving more time for analysis and decision-making. GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES It also creates specific opportunities to provide third-party services, and a capital-light property management model to scale our platform and grow our business. ESG BENEFITS These paperless & cloud- based systems also contribute towards Scope 1 emissions reductions and furthermore opens pathways to address our Scope 2 (utility) targets using other functionality within the Yardi system. The I-RES Living Platform has already significantly transformed our operations and opens up further opportunities for the evolution of our digital transformation roadmap COUNTRY-LEADING SECURITY & COMPLIANCE Management of our Residential Tenancies Act requirements is built into the system, while the resident application process streamlines new resident onboarding and ensures data security and GDPR compliance, reducing reliance on email and manual deletions of Personal Information. INTEGRATED SYSTEM Combining datasets into one platform provides better insights, improves data integrity and enables more efficient processes.

68 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 CASE STUDY Adding value through our commercial tenants At the launch of state-of-the-art Sigmoid Sports Golf Training Centre in Sandyford (L-R): Margaret Sweeney, I-RES CEO; Rob Browne, Sigmoid Sports Managing Director; Emer Reilly, I-RES Commercial Director; David Kearney, Sigmoid Sports, Co-Founder and Director; Claire Percy, I-RES Head of Communications; Stephen Mulcair, I-RES Analyst.

69 Alongside our residential portfolio, we operate 275,000 sq feet of commercial property, with 45 units across our portfolio, in attractive well-connected locations in established communities. We work with a huge range of quality commercial tenants, adding great services and amenities to the communities where we operate. This year, we signed a number of new commercial tenants, including new food service outlets, a women’s physiotherapy clinic and also Sigmoid Sports, a state-of-the-art Indoor Golf Centre in Sandyford. Sigmoid Sports is an Irish athlete management and events company who entered into a long-term lease in Sandyford for some 3,000 sq. ft. at Beacon South Quarter. This followed a planning permission change from retail to leisure usage, enabling them to develop the indoor golf centre and ancillary retail outlet – an innovative use of an available space. Sigmoid HQ operates an indoor golf centre that features a number of bespoke indoor golf simulators equipped with TrackMan technology, the world’s leading developer of radar tracking technology for use in golf performance analysis. The space also includes; an indoor putting green delivered to top golf course standards, Sigmoid Apparel’s first retail store, a Coffee Bar serving specialty coffee and a Performance Room which is available for physios, sports psychologists, coaches, dieticians etc. to rent on an hourly/daily basis. Sigmoid, who work with a number of professional golfers on the LPGA and Ladies European Tours, will offer customers - from beginners to elite players - the opportunity to have fun as well as improve their golf game, by booking simulators for personal use, attending golf classes, playing in golf leagues, or opting for custom golf club fittings. The addition of Sigmoid HQ brings a new leisure and health amenity to the Sandyford District. It also builds upon I-RES’ longstanding presence in the area. Here since 2014, I-RES has 700 apartments and several other commercial tenants in this area. The transformation of this space into a unique, state- of-the-art indoor golf centre is a testament to the ambition of the teams involved, and we are proud to have partnered with Sigmoid HQ to deliver this new amenity to the Sandyford District. This new leisure destination will add to the area’s footfall, supporting local businesses and the local economy as well as providing amenities for residents of the area and the wider region. In line with our strategy, we will continue to review opportunities to drive additional revenue streams from our portfolio that will deliver long-term value for the business.

70 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 CASE STUDY Making a difference with Dragons at the Docks I-RES team at Dragons at the Docks

71 Through six years of Dragons at the Docks, we have been able to provide homes for more than 50 people and families who have been through the trauma of homelessness. Our ultimate goal in Dublin Simon Community is to end homelessness and it is only with your support that we have been able to do this for these 50 people and families. In 2023, a donation of €250,000 brings total donation to over €1.2million Funds raised this year will support Dublin Simon to acquire and develop up to 5 homes allowing more people to exit homelessness. Using innovative funding models Dublin Simon can leverage donations to acquire homes. Under a new model, every €50,000 raised provides the initial funding required for Dublin Simon to acquire a further property. In 2022, there were 715 adults and children living in our independent houses, an increase of 13% year- on-year. This would not be possible without the support of the Dragons At The Docks. Catherine Kenny CEO of the Dublin Simon Community I-RES CONTRIBUTION I-RES was a founding partner of this important event, and has been a cornerstone sponsor since its inception and has fielded a team of employees for every occasion. DRAGONS AT THE DOCKS Established in 2017, the annual Dragons at the Docks is a flagship fundraising event for the Irish property industry. Held annually in the Grand Canal area of Central Dublin, the event sees 60-80 teams of people from across the Irish real estate sector compete in dragon boat racing to raise vital funds for charity. SIMON COMMUNITY During Covid, the Dragons pivoted to an online format which raised €100,000, but the in-person event has now resumed, and the 2023 event saw 750 participants in 68 teams across 7 sectors raising €250,000 solely for Dublin Simon Community. €1.7 MILLION RAISED Over the past 7 years, Dragons at the Docks has raised over €1.7 million for Dublin Simon Community, Aware, ALONE, ISPCC, Women’s Aid and other charities.

72 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 At I-RES we are committed to supporting local communities and are delighted to partner with all island peace-building organisation Co-Operation Ireland on their Future Leaders programme. CASE STUDY Developing future leaders with Co-Operation Ireland

Young Leaders Workshop 73 Co-operation Ireland works to build a shared and cohesive society by addressing legacy issues of the conflict and facilitating contact and collaboration between people from different backgrounds across these islands. Their programmes are primarily targeted at young people and marginalised communities which have experienced the worst impacts of the conflict. The Future Leaders programme, with which I-RES is involved, is an accredited leadership programme connecting emerging leaders and building the next generation of peacebuilders on the island of Ireland. Each year, many of the I-RES team act as mentors and ambassadors with students of the programme, contributing skills and knowledge to the students via various workshops and activities. This mentorship also benefits the I-RES team from a personal development perspective through their engagement with participants. In 2023 we worked with Co-operation Ireland to develop a 2-day intensive workplace immersion for a group of young leaders where, our employees provided the chance for the students to participate in a range of workshops, activities, offsite partner visits and interactions in an environment completely removed from the everyday and experience aspects of the corporate world and imagine what might be possible for their future.

74 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 RISK REPORT The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems and is satisfied that they are operating effectively. Risk Management Approach Managing risk is an integral part of our business and a key to the successful long-term delivery of I-RES’ strategic objectives. I-RES recognises that its ability to manage risk effectively continues to be central to its success. While our risk appetite is dynamic and can vary over time in general the Group maintains a conservative approach to risk appropriate to our overall strategic objective of delivering long-term sustainable value. While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk management within the Group, it has delegated responsibility for monitoring certain key areas to Board Sub Committees as outlined in the table on page 75. The Board has set out delegated responsibilities and procedures for the management of risk across the Group. The risk management process is designed to identify, evaluate, and respond to the significant existing and emerging risks that I-RES faces in pursuing its strategic objectives. While risk can never be fully eliminated, the process aims to understand and appropriately manage and mitigate identified risks, and in that context therefore can only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that risks will not materialise. In approaching risk management, I-RES actively looks to both manage risk exposure but to also ensure that we make the most of opportunities that arise from a dynamic and changing market environment. The Board recognises the reality that it has limited control over many of the external risk factors it faces such as macroeconomic, geopolitical, political, or regulatory change. However, the Board does actively consider the potential impacts of such changes for the business and what consequential actions may be required. The more internal facing risks are actively monitored by the Board to ensure that appropriately designed controls are in place and operating to manage them.

75 The Board carries out a review of the effectiveness of the Group’s Risk Management and internal control systems at least annually. In addition, the principal risks are subject to review as part of the half-year reporting cycle. All risk commentary is subject to review and challenge by the Senior Leadership Team prior to discussion with and approval of the Audit Committee and the Board. Further detailed commentary on the principal risks facing the Group which the Board have determined could impact the achievement of our strategic objectives, and any change in the profiles of those risks are set out from page 82. The Groups consideration of viability and going concern are set out on page 80. Governance, Risk Management and Internal Control Systems Overview Governance Overview Shown below is how responsibility for governance and risk management is cascaded down into the Group. Under its Governance Framework (page 102) the Board is supported by four sub-committees in discharging its duties. The Board relies on the Audit Committee to assist with certain responsibilities relating to internal controls, risk management and reporting. Refer to the Report of the Audit Committee on pages 112 to 119 for the procedures established by the Audit Committee to discharge these responsibilities. Board Committees The Board has overall responsibility for maintaining and monitoring the Group’s system of risk management and internal control and assessing its effectiveness. Such a system is designed to identify, manage, and mitigate financial, operational and compliance risks inherent to the Group and allow the Group to meet its strategic objectives. Board Management within I-RES is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating an effective system of internal controls to identify, mitigate and manage key risks facing the Group and allowing it to meet its strategic objectives. All functions oversee risks in some respects in carrying out their day-to-day responsibilities. Management Financial Statements 174 Governance 92 Strategic Report Supplementary Information 248

76 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Three Lines of Defence The Group employs a three lines of defence approach to risk management in line with established best practices. This approach has been implemented to ensure there is clear ownership and delegation of responsibility for the management and oversight of risk throughout the Group. The risk management framework informs strategic planning at both Group and Business area levels and includes climate- related risks. 1ST LINE Management & Employees Executive and Operational Management are responsible for risk identification, managing the internal control environment and monitoring changes in the risk profile. 2ND LINE Risk & Compliance Group functional teams ensure the first line is operating as designed, manage performance reviews and facilitate risk assessments. This includes Finance, Legal, Risk & Compliance and IT & Cyber Security. 3RD LINE Internal Audit Group Internal Audit along with other external assurance providers perform reviews which provide independent assurance over the operation of the internal control framework, risk management systems and governance processes.

77 Delivery of risk and control processes is supported by a combination of experienced personnel in key positions, clearly documented and communicated processes and procedures, and enabling technology to support operational delivery. Entity Level Controls Policies and Procedures Process Controls ↘ Board oversight of Management and financial, operational and compliance matters ↘ Experienced personnel and oversight established by Management ↘ Tone at the top ↘ Defined structure and clear lines of authority ↘ Communication and disclosure controls such as management meetings and compliance certifications ↘ Corporate governance policies ↘ Code of Conduct and Employee Handbook ↘ Signing Authority and Delegation ↘ Policy governing day-to-day transactions and larger corporate initiatives ↘ Risk management and regulatory monitoring practices ↘ Investment decision policies, including due diligence policies and procedures ↘ Financial reporting and risk management processes ↘ Asset valuation procedures ↘ Operations policies and practices ↘ Information technology and security policies and procedures ↘ Preventative, detective and corrective financial, compliance and operational transaction level controls ↘ Information technology controls surrounding key financial and operational systems ↘ Establishing and monitoring budgets and business plans, including consideration of risk ↘ Monitoring of financial results and key operational, financial and compliance performance indicators (e.g., net asset value, net rental income, capitalisation rates, occupancy, average monthly rents, gearing and debt covenant compliance, revenue collectability and REIT status compliance) The risk assessment and management process incorporates both a top-down and bottom-up evaluation to identify key risks that require to be actively monitored and mitigated. The output from this process is consolidated to determine the principal risks and uncertainties for the Group, which are subject to review and challenge by senior management prior to submission to the Audit Committee and Board for discussion and final approval. The results of this risk assessment process and a summary of the key and emerging risks in the risk register are reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board on a quarterly basis. The risk assessment process and risk register also assist the Board in determining the Group’s principal risks and uncertainties, which have been included on pages 82 to 91. Key process owners are responsible for maintaining a risk register consisting of key strategic, operational, financial, compliance and regulatory risks impacting the Group along with associated mitigating controls. Throughout the year, the risk management function meets with process owners to maintain the risk register and incorporate any changes to risks, including any new or emerging risks and mitigating factors or controls. This risk register and related assessments include content and discussion relating both to principal risks as well as other key business risks, including emerging risks. While emerging risks may not always become principal risks, they are identified and monitored throughout the year by process owners, since they may require actionable mitigation activities. In addition to discussion with process owners, the risk management function may also seek guidance from outside advisors in relation to certain inherent, external, technical, or emerging risks. I-RES’ Risk Management function is also responsible for assessing the Group’s risks that require insurance and ensuring that adequate cover is procured to protect the Group from significant exposures. From time to time, I-RES’ risk management function engages third party expertise to assist it in carrying out risk assessments and to provide risk advisory services, as well as in procuring optimal insurance coverage for the Group on the most cost-effective basis. Financial Statements 174 Governance 92 Supplementary Information 248 Strategic Report

78 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 The Board is satisfied that I-RES’ risk management function has the necessary authority, resources, expertise and access to relevant information to fulfil its role and is operating effectively as at the date of this Report. The Group has established an internal audit function to assist the Audit Committee and Board assess the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems. This role is currently outsourced to the professional services firm EY Ireland. The mandate of the internal audit function includes auditing the design and operating effectiveness of key operational, financial and compliance related internal controls making up risk mitigation activities. The internal audit function has adequate authority and access to personnel, processes, and records to perform its work and meets with the Group’s external auditor to discuss internal control and audit matters. Additionally, the Group’s external auditor has access to the internal audit function’s findings and reports. Effectively managing Health & Safety risks is a priority The internal audit function presents quarterly to the Audit Committee on its work related to the internal controls of the Group. The Audit Committee has direct access to the internal audit function through quarterly Audit Committee meetings, including in- camera sessions as required. 2nd and 3rd line oversight and challenge support the organisation in growing profitably, responsibly, and sustainably by challenging how the 1st line manages our risk exposures. Furthermore, the Audit Committee plays a key role in assessing the annual internal audit plan proposed by the internal audit function and in reviewing any significant findings resulting from the audit work carried out under this plan. In addition to the above, I-RES engages third party expertise, where needed, to assist in carrying out processes and to provide advisory services. The Board has appointed two independent external third-party valuation firms to complete valuations of the property-related investments of the Group. Management reviews the assumptions and inputs used by the third-party valuation firms, as well as the results of their valuation process. Additionally, the Group has a rotation policy for its third-party valuation firms. In respect of key IT infrastructure and Applications, I-RES utilises two recognised industry leading providers in Microsoft and Yardi to provide best in class, resilient cloud-based platforms to underpin our operations. In addition, specialist expertise is in place in the areas of IT and Cyber strategies, and operational management of the platforms, to support our internal team in assuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Group’s infrastructure and key systems. Shown overleaf is an overview of the assurance activities undertaken within the Group that, taken together, provide assurance to the Board that the governance and control activities are operating effectively. Considering the information on principal risks and uncertainties provided and the ongoing work of the Audit Committee in monitoring the risk management and internal control systems on behalf of the Board, the Board: ↘ is satisfied that it has carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks and emerging risks facing the Group, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency, or liquidity; and ↘ has reviewed the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems, including all material financial, operational and compliance controls (including those relating to the financial reporting process), and no material failings or weaknesses were identified.

80 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Going Concern Statement The Directors, after making enquiries, reviewing assumptions, and considering options available, have a reasonable expectation that the Company, and the Group have adequate resources to continue operating for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this reason, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be adopted in preparing the financial statements included in this Report. The Group’s projected financial results and current position as set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows are rigorously tested by management and the Directors. Sensitivity analysis has been applied to reflect the potential impact of some of the principal strategic and commercial risks of the Group, as described on pages 82 to 91. The principal strategic and commercial risks that were factored into the analysis were the economy, inflation, and regulation/ legislation. Sensitivity analysis included stress testing for a decline in revenues to ensure the Group has sufficient cash resources to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months given the ongoing volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape and its potential impact on the overall economy. After reviewing assumptions about future trading performance, valuation projections, capital expenditure and debt requirements expected and the options available to it, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have sufficient funds available to meet liabilities as well as other planned expenditures as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The Directors also considered potential business, credit, market, and liquidity risks, including the availability and repayment profile of bank facilities and other debt obligations, as well as forecast covenant compliance. Based on the above, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. Viability Statement Assessment of Prospects The Group’s current strategy is outlined from page 32. As outlined the Group has entered a Strategic Review to consider and evaluate all strategic options that may be available to maximise and unlock value for Shareholders. The Board remains committed to executing on its existing strategy of operational excellence, value maximising portfolio management, disciplined capital allocation, and sustainability whilst the Strategic Review is in progress and this is reflected in the Viability Assessment. The Assessment Period The Group’s viability assessment includes the budget for the next financial year, together with a forecast for the following two financial years. Achievement of the one-year budget has a greater level of certainty and is used to set near-term targets across the Group. The achievement of the three-year plan is less certain than the budget but provides a longer-term outlook against which strategic decisions can be made. The Directors concluded that three years was an appropriate period for the assessment given that this is the key period of focus within the Group’s strategic planning process, and it fits well with the Group’s development cycle. The objectives of the strategic planning process are to consider the key strategic choices facing the Group and to build a consolidated financial model with various stress scenarios, considering the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group. The Assessment and Key Assumptions Detailed financial forecasts are prepared and subjected to a rolling forecast process throughout the year. Subsequent years of the forecasts are extrapolated from the first year, based on the overall content of the strategic plan. Progress against financial budgets and key objectives is reviewed in detail monthly by the Group and shared with the Board on a quarterly basis. Mitigating actions are taken, whether identified through actual trading performance or the rolling forecast process. The key assumptions within the Group’s financial forecasts include organic revenue growth supplemented by investment in acquisitions and development, supported by market trends, impact of inflation on our cost base, projected interest rates and valuation of our portfolio. Assessment of Viability The Viability assessment has considered the Group’s profitability, capital values, LTV, cash flows and other key financial metrics over the period. These metrics are subject to sensitivity analysis, in which the

81 underlying assumptions are flexed based on some of the principal risks of the Group, as described on pages 82 to 91 to reflect a comprehensive range of outcomes, particularly assessing the Group’s REIT and financial covenants. Under the stressed scenarios, the Directors believe that the Company can mitigate for liquidity and cash flows by a reduction in discretionary capital expenditure, disposal of assets and deferral of future commitments. In addition, repair, and maintenance expenses and property management expenses, which are two significant components of the operating expenses are, to a certain extent, variable expenses that can be managed to reduce costs. The Group’s LTV which is required to be maintained below 50% through its debt facilities and REIT legislation is impacted by changes in the valuation of our assets. Significant yield expansion could cause LTV to increase. The Company has the ability to recycle capital through asset disposals for the purpose of capital management and balance sheet management, as is outlined in the Business Strategy Section of the report on page 32 The Group is required to consider its debt obligations by the end of the assessment period, principally the RCF which matures in April 2026. For the purposes of the Viability Assessment, we have assumed that the RCF can be rolled on similar commercial terms to the current facility. Our Operational Management team is responsible for risk identification The Directors have assessed the viability of the Group over a three-year period to December 2026, taking account of the Group’s current position and the potential impact of the principal risks. While the sensitivity analysis is hypothetical, the Group has control and mitigation measures. Our Operational Management team is responsible for risk identification in place to withstand or avoid potential unfavourable impacts under the scenarios, such as reducing non-essential expenditure, disposal of assets and deferral of acquisitions and development. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue to sustain its operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period to December 2026, and meet its financial covenants. The Group has a strong balance sheet, with no near-term debt maturities, and currently has sufficient headroom on its RCF. In making this statement, the Directors have considered the resilience of the Group, its current position, the principal risks facing the business in severe but reasonable scenarios, and the effectiveness of any mitigating actions. The Directors also note that whilst a Strategic Review is underway, no outcome from this process has been determined that may have an impact on the assessment over the forecast period.

82 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Principal Risks and Uncertainties The Directors of the Company set out below the principal risks and uncertainties that I-RES is currently exposed to and that may impact performance under the existing strategic pillars as set out on pages 34 to 35. I-RES proactively identifies, assesses, monitors and manages these risks. The principal risks and uncertainties, along with their strategic impact on the business and mitigating factors, have been outlined below. I-RES has also provided its belief on how the risk has trended during the year ended 31 December 2023. Geopolitical Instability, Economy and Inflation Continuing heightened levels of global instability in economic and geopolitical arenas could lead to a general weakening of the Irish economy and increasing inflation. The ongoing conflict in the Ukraine, coupled with the recent escalation of the situation in Gaza continues to cause heightened global uncertainty with related macroeconomic impacts. Of key concern are potential negative impacts on the Irish economy generally and on the residential property sector for the greater Dublin area in particular where the majority of our portfolio is located. Strategic Impact High Reduced economic activity could have a negative impact on business performance, asset values and net rental income, which could affect cash flows going forward. In addition, inflationary increases in respect of input cost and payroll in excess of rent inflation would put downward pressure on NRI and earnings. Mitigation Strategy On an ongoing basis there is active monitoring of business performance, economic and macro environment reviews, and residential sector developments, with reports to the Board on a regular basis. The Board regularly considers the impact of the wider economic and macro-outlook and its impact on I-RES’s strategy and budgetary processes. We continue to monitor the impact that changes in inflation and interest rates are having on our sector. I-RES’s business is primarily focused on the greater Dublin area, which continues to be economically resilient. Demand for I-RES properties continues to far outstrip supply, with occupancy of 99.4% as at 31 December 2023, (99.4% at 31 December 2022). There is also strong continuing focus on active cost control within the day-to-day business operations. I-RES retains its strong financial position, with a robust balance sheet and ample liquidity. The business has entered into interest rate hedging arrangements in relation to its Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which has resulted in 83% of I-RES’s total drawn debt being fixed at 31 December 2023. I-RES has no debt maturities until April 2026 with laddering out to 2032. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Increasing The continuing level of global uncertainty, in particular in the European context around the economic implication of the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, continues to have knock- on impacts on key economic metrics thereby creating challenging market conditions both at a national and sectoral level. While inflation has slowed across the euro area the rate of inflation remains above the ECB target of 2 per cent which triggered another interest rate increase of 25 basis points by the ECB in September 2023. These continuing uncertainties are being reflected in impacts on the possible trajectory of key metrics such as interest rates, energy costs, and inflation levels and the continuing implementation of a conservative monetary approach by the Central Banks. Operating cost pressures will continue to emerge during 2024 in response to existing inflationary pressures. Strategic Impact Risk Trending High Medium Low Increasing Stable Decreasing The risk management process is designed to identify, evaluate and respond to the significant existing and emerging risks that I-RES faces in delivering on its agreed strategy. The process aims to understand and appropriately manage and mitigate identified risks. As previously announced the Board is commencing a strategic review which will revisit the options available and possible changes to the future strategy of the organisation. It is expected that the currently identified risks will continue to be relevant to any future strategy. The output from the strategic review process once completed will be evaluated to identify any emerging key risks and uncertainties that might warrant inclusion in any future analysis of principal risk in I-RES.

83 Regulatory and Legislative change That material changes to key legislation, including tax and rent legislation has an adverse impact on the performance of I-RES. In recent years, the REIT regime in Ireland has been amended and changes have been made to the applicable fiscal terms which have resulted in some diminution in the attractiveness of Irish REITs for international investors. In addition, the Department of Finance is currently conducting a wide- ranging review of the funds sector as part of its “Funds Sector 2030: A framework for Open, Resilient and Developing Markets Consultation” which is expected to report during 2024. Strategic Impact High There is a continuing need for stability in relation to all aspects of the regulatory, policy and planning environment, to enable companies to accurately factor in the market backdrop in their investment and operational decision-making. There is currently a range of structural issues relating to the provision of housing which is resulting in a supply imbalance in the Irish market. The delivery of affordable residential housing remains a key challenge and there will continue to be a requirement for well capitalised companies who can both fund large scale developments and professionally manage these residential units upon completion. Changes in policies or regulatory requirements can delay or prevent investment decisions, and impact on the attractiveness of Ireland as a preferred destination for domestic and international investment. Changes, in Government policies, can materially impact on sector performance. The industry currently faces an environment of increasing costs of financing and operation, while at the same time having legislative constraints on revenues. Also, if there are changes to tax policies and/or the tax treatment of I-RES’s income, these may decrease the attractiveness of the Company as an investment to current or potential shareholders. Also, as legislation changes, we may have to incur incremental costs to comply with new requirements, such as staff training, modification of procedures and technology systems, and consultations with professional advisors. Mitigation Strategy I-RES takes account of current regulations, rent legislation, as well as the wider economic environment, in considering its strategy, its investment decisions, expectations of financial performance and growth. If any new legislation or regulations are under consideration the impacts are assessed and I-RES’ strategy is adapted accordingly. When legislation is enacted, relevant staff will receive training and education in order to ensure compliance with regulations and legislation. I-RES also monitors and manages costs keeping in mind any limitations on revenue growth. I-RES engages a public affairs firm to advise in relation to these matters as well as actively participating in industry groups to ensure ongoing consultation and engagement with relevant authorities, regulators and government departments on significant policy and regulatory matters likely to impact on its affairs. As part of its wider strategy, I-RES is actively engaged with the Irish Government and relevant departments and regularly contributes to material consultations relevant to the sector, such as the Department of Finance’s Fund’s Sector 2030 consultation, the outcome of which will be an important determinant for the future fiscal framework for Irish REITs. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable There continues to be a significant supply constraint in the Irish housing market, coupled with increasing demand due to population growth and other demographic factors. In September 2021, the Government introduced a new housing policy to 2030, ‘Housing for All – a New Housing Plan for Ireland’, which is a multi-annual, multi-billion-euro plan to “improve Ireland’s housing system and deliver more homes of all types for people with different housing needs”. However, housing continues to be a significant political issue and the Government continues to look to identify measures to increase direct supply of social and affordable housing including in partnership with the private sector. In addition, regulatory restrictions in Ireland imposing annual rent increases of no more than 2% since December 2021 continue to impact on I-RES’ ability to increase rents despite high demand for properties continuing.

84 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Investment and Asset Management At the core of our success is the need to effectively manage the investment and asset management activates we undertake. Investment management involves the ongoing review and optimisation of the portfolio through targeted value adding acquisitions, development projects, (directly or through Joint Ventures) and disposals with the aim of maximising returns on the capital invested whether new funding or recycling of assets. Asset Management comprises those activities involving maintaining and enhancing asset values through active initiatives in areas such as ongoing investment in the infrastructure to address key deliverables such as building maintenance and retrofitting and sustainability initiatives. These activities serve to deliver a best-in-class tenant experience to support revenue maximisation over time. Investment assets may decrease in value or may require material unanticipated expenditures after acquisition because of unknown risks and conditions at the time of purchase, including structural deficiencies or non-compliances with building code. Investment opportunities in an active growth pipeline are currently limited in the Irish Market and as a result I-RES may not grow its number of apartments relative to the past if there is a lack of development and acquisition projects. If growth opportunities are limited, it may impact I-RES’s ability to generate growing returns for its shareholders. Strategic Impact High I-RES may not meet its performance targets if it cannot continue to grow and optimise its overall portfolio, or if there are material cost overruns in excess of budget estimates for development or maintenance works, unanticipated delays in securing planning permissions or delays in timelines for construction works associated with new development or maintenance projects. Poor decisions in either the investment or divestment of assets may impact on the overall value of the portfolio. Poor investment decisions may result in material unanticipated expenditures subsequent to acquisition. Poor operational asset management may also result in negative impacts on the valuation and revenue generation capacity of the portfolio. Mitigation Strategy There is also ongoing focus on opportunities for recycling of assets where such projects are value enhancing through targeted divestments. Where investments or divestments are under consideration the Group carries out financial, legal, operational, technical and environmental due diligence on every investment or divestment opportunity to determine it fits with the Group’s stated investment policy. Ongoing review is carried out of the anticipated current and future income expectations and operational costs associated with managing the assets. The Board must approve material development opportunities prior to commencement and all material contracts are executed by the Board. The CEO and Board reviews and approves investment proposals for over €1m including consideration of risks during the due diligence process. A full review is completed in respect of the anticipated current and future income expectations and operational costs associated with acquiring and managing assets. Strategic Impact Risk Trending High Medium Low Increasing Stable Decreasing

85 Investment and Asset Management continued Mitigation Strategy continued I-RES engages subject matter experts in conducting financial, legal, operational, technical, and environmental due diligence on every investment opportunity (both acquisitions and development projects) to determine it fits with I-RES’ stated investment policy. I-RES has in place framework agreements with third party experts for conducting technical and engineering studies and investigations on potential acquisitions, developments, or forward purchase contracts as well as engaging specialist property lawyers to conduct legal due diligence and to advise on purchase and development contracts. Over the last two years, through the addition of new properties with high sustainability ratings, and the disposal of properties, individual units and non-income earning assets at or above book value and significantly above cost, I-RES has strengthened its balance sheet and the quality of the portfolio. I-RES is well managed and benchmarked across key cost metrics, including operational expenditure and general and administrative costs. I-RES maintains cost levels in line with its comparable European residential peers. I-RES continues to control costs, reflected in ongoing focus and initiatives to mitigate cost inflation, maximise revenues from the portfolio and to leverage its operating platform. Since 2022 I-RES, as a fully internalised and integrated residential business with a strong operating platform, has greater flexibility and is now in a better position to leverage a range of options for future growth and ensure it fully utilises and maximises a return on all its assets including its operating platform (which is now considered a strategic asset in its own right in this sector). However, there are clear sectoral issues with the current underlying economic challenges facing residential property developers that are significantly constraining the availability of an active pipeline of relevant development projects. These are driven by factors such as revenue constraints, escalating construction costs, increasing interest rates, accelerating inflation, ongoing planning challenges and constriction in the capital available to fund schemes. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable Completed assets at competitive cost continue to be in limited supply, and new supply continues to come online more slowly than expected. I-RES believe that growth opportunities will be there in the medium to long term for organisations with a strong balance sheet, access to capital and a proven record of successful acquisition and integration of new assets into a professionally run portfolio. However, in the short to medium term this impacts on current growth opportunities. I-RES has reduced exposure in respect of construction cost escalation as the only currently active project is the completion of the planned purchase of the last phase of the Ashbrook project. I-RES continues to monitor and adapt to impacts on the supply of construction labour and materials, both for development activity and any ongoing repair and maintenance related activity.

86 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Access to Capital The ability to access capital may become limited, which would impact the growth strategy of I-RES. Strategic Impact Medium If I-RES is unable to source debt financing at attractive rates or raise equity, it may not be able to meet its growth objectives through acquisitions and development or preserve its existing assets through maintenance or capital expenditures. Mitigation Strategy The CEO and CFO have developed relationships with lenders, both in Ireland and internationally, which provide ongoing financing possibilities for I-RES. The quality of the I-RES’ property portfolio and the LTV target of 45% on total assets (particularly apartments) are attractive credit characteristics for potential lenders, which to date have facilitated the raising of debt financing. I-RES currently has a revolving credit facility of up to €500 million and Private Placement Notes of c.€200 million. I-RES invests in properties that generate a strong rate of return for its investors and, in turn, increases the attractiveness of its shares and dividends. I-RES actively manages its liquidity needs and monitors capital availability. Through pro-active capital management and maintenance of a robust financial position, I-RES has not needed to raise new capital nor place restrictions on, or withdrawals of, its dividend policy as a response to the recent challenging market environment. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable As at 31 December 2023 I-RES had drawn on its credit facility in the amount of €373 million and Notes Private Placement of c.€200 million. I-RES continues to monitor liquidity needs to ensure that future capital requirements are anticipated and met within the limits of its leverage thresholds. Based on its financial position and performance, as well as its relationships with lenders and current and potential investors, I-RES has the ability to access capital should the underlying fundamentals and current financial obligations support the business case. Strategic Impact Risk Trending High Medium Low Increasing Stable Decreasing

87 Cost of Capital, Interest Rate Increases and Loan to Value Ratio A fundamental facet of I-RES’ business relates to the cost of capital it deploys and its leverage level. Interest rate increases and/or property valuation decreases, result in higher debt service costs and restriction of future leveraging opportunities due to its regulatory requirement to maintain LTV below 50%. Strategic Impact Medium I-RES is exposed to risks associated with availability of capital (equity and debt) and movements in interest rates on its floating rate bank debt, as well as movements in property valuations. Significant increases in interest rates and the cost of equity, could affect I-RES’ cash flow and its ability to meet growth objectives or preserve the value of its existing assets. Elevated interest rates clearly represent a significant downside risk as it impacts both on the costs of existing borrowing, the cost of raising new funding and the viability and return available from new opportunities in the market. Additionally, property valuations are inherently subjective but also driven by market forces. A contraction in property values could make I-RES too highly geared, which could result in higher interest costs and potential covenant breaches. Mitigation Strategy I-RES has a proven record of strong financial results. Strong results, combined with being in a residential industry with a strong underlying market, helps manage our ability to meet shareholders’ expectations and thus, the cost of equity. As noted in the access to capital heading I-RES has developed strong relationships with lenders, both in Ireland and internationally, which provide ongoing financing possibilities for I-RES. I-RES’s revolving credit facility is €500 million with the interest margin fixed at 1.75%, plus the one-month EURIBOR rate. On 11 February 2022, I-RES exercised an option for an extension of the entire facility with the new maturity date of 18 April 2026. I-RES completed a private placement of Notes of circa €200 million equivalent in March 2020, with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% inclusive of swap costs. The Notes have a laddered maturity over six, nine, and eleven years, with the first repayment due in 2027. As of 31 December 2023, I-RES has c.€7 million of cash and €127 million of committed undrawn debt under its Revolving Credit Facility. I-RES maintains an active programme of engagement with its debt and equity providers, including an ongoing Investor Relations programme. I-RES’s net loan to value ratio was 44.3% as at 31 December 2023, below the 50% maximum allowed under the Irish REIT rules and the financial covenants under I-RES’s debt agreements. I-RES also manages its headroom on its interest coverage ratio. I-RES closely monitors property values by updating its property valuations twice annually using two independent property valuation firms. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Increasing Capital markets in the early part of 2024 continue to be constrained in terms of overall liquidity. Late 2022 and 2023 saw a succession of interest rate increases by central banks across the world to address rising inflation. This included the European Central Bank who raised their rates for the first time in 11 years. While there are some positive indicators that the level of volatility may be stabilising given the continuing uncertainty the risk of further increases continues to persist. The valuation of the portfolio as at 31 December 2023, when compared to year end 2022 has decreased, driven by the successful completion of our asset disposal programme, whilst yield expansion has resulted in fair value adjustments to the portfolio. A fair value loss has been recorded in the year ended 31 December 2023 which has negatively impacted the loan to value ratio. The decrease in valuation is due to a softening of yields particularly driven by the previously mentioned interest rate increases.

88 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Cybersecurity and Data Protection Failure to have in place appropriate cyber security and data governance frameworks and arrangements, both internally and with its service providers, could result in the Group’s data being subject to a cybersecurity attack leading to disruption of service and / or loss of confidential commercial or personal information. Strategic Impact Medium Failing to have in place and comply with appropriate cyber security data protection requirements and practices could lead to outcomes such as disruption of service unauthorised access to data and possible fraudulent activities surrounding confidential/non- public business information or personal data, particularly that belonging to I-RES’s residents. This could result in direct losses to stakeholders, penalties to I-RES for non-compliance, potential liability to third parties and reputational damage to I-RES. Inadequate security on systems by IT providers could result in cybersecurity breaches. Mitigation Strategy I-RES continues to monitor for threats posed from the external cyber risk landscape, and to invest in our controls around information technology. As part of the internalisation process, there has been a significant focus on cyber capability and IT resilience, with the development of an enhanced Cyber Security Framework during 2023. This framework forms the basis for future iterations of I-RES’s Cyber Strategy. I-RES is responsible for data privacy and protection as a data processor and remains adaptable either itself or through its sub processors to ongoing technological and legislative change. Employees receive regular awareness training on cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection. Access to personal data is controlled through physical measures (e.g. locked offices and storage locations, alarm monitoring, cameras), administrative measures (e.g. data minimisation, data retention policies, data destruction practices, and audits) and IT security measures (e.g. password protection, firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection and encryption). Cyber security personnel and third-party consultants/advisors are engaged where required, to assist with assessing the IT environment and cyber risks. I-RES maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage and continues to monitor and assess risks surrounding collection, processing, storage, disclosure, transfer, protection, and retention/ destruction practices for personal data. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Increasing As technological change has occurred at a rapid pace, the inherent risks surrounding cybersecurity and data protection have also evolved and continue to evolve at an equally rapid pace. European Union Data Protection legislation (e.g., General Data Protection Regulation and ePrivacy) is increasing in prescriptiveness, obligation, and administration. Additionally, issues such as vendor risk complexities, and phishing and social engineering attempts continue at an accelerating pace due to criminal online “business models” focusing on high volume/quick hit ransomware deployment and basic financial fraud via wire transfer. While the external risk is both dynamic and constant, I-RES continues to implement industry recommended practices to mitigate key cyber and information risk areas. Strategic Impact Risk Trending High Medium Low Increasing Stable Decreasing

89 Regulatory and Legal Compliance The ability to access capital may become limited, which would impact the growth strategy of I-RES. Strategic Impact Low Potential breaches of laws and regulations could result in litigation or investigations, the imposition of significant fines, sanctions, loss of REIT status, adverse operational impact, and reputational damage. Mitigation Strategy There is proactive monitoring of I-RES’s compliance with the rules and regulations across key areas of activity, including the REIT rules and Tax legislation. This includes an independent tax review of compliance with the REIT rules. The results of these compliance reviews are reported to senior management, the Audit Committee and the Board on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. Within the business there are legal, risk and compliance personnel who monitor both compliance with current requirements and any impending or emerging changes in rules and regulations or tax policies that may impact on the organisation. There is ongoing monitoring of I-RES’s compliance with the rules and regulations affecting I-RES status and regular reviews of how I-RES’s planned operations may impact compliance with these rules. The results of these compliance reviews are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable I-RES does not believe the risk of non-compliance has changed from last year and the Audit Committee continues its review and monitoring as well as taking expert advice when necessary.

Strategic Impact Risk Trending High Medium Low Increasing Stable Decreasing 90 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Environmental Sustainability Failure to respond appropriately and sufficiently to environmental sustainability risks or failure to benefit from the potential opportunities could lead to adverse impact on reputation, property values and shareholder returns. Strategic Impact Medium There is an increasing exposure to environment and climate-related risks across the portfolio. The environmental risks/opportunities include, but are not limited to, management of resource use (energy, water), waste disposal, material sourcing and use, greenhouse gas emissions and other impacts from operating, maintaining and renovating our properties. The climate-related risks/opportunities include, but are not limited to, more extreme and volatile weather events, changes in regulations or government policies, reputation management, market demand shifts, developing technology and investor pressure and expectations. Mitigation Strategy I-RES places building a sustainable business at the heart of its strategy, providing and operating a modern residential asset portfolio with high sustainability features (I-RES delivered Ireland’s first LEED Gold residential apartment building in 2022). I-RES also embraces social impact and building communities into its day-to-day operating plans as well as close liaison with key stakeholders and has been making significant strides on its carbon reduction programme. This strategy has supported the resilience of the business including during the COVID pandemic as well as ongoing uncertainties due to inflation, energy crises and consumer stress from macro-economic movements. The Board of I-RES has in place a sustainability committee (the “Board Sustainability Committee”) which among other duties is responsible for developing and recommending to the Board the ESG strategy, policies, risks, targets, and investment required to achieve the approved ESG strategy. Additional working groups have been established to drive management, and asset level ESG strategy and monitor environmental and sustainability metrics. There is active engagement between the working groups and the Board. I-RES produces an ESG Report annually with key data and performance points which are externally assured and has recently completed a materiality assessment, a key tool to deliver on its multi-year ESG strategy. There is ongoing monitoring of both supply and demand for rental apartments in operating areas where I-RES’ investment properties are located, with reporting on key metrics around investment performance and risk, as well as compliance with I-RES’ stated investment policy, on a quarterly basis to the Board. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable I-RES and the Board continue to monitor the organisation’s environmental sustainability performance and mitigating actions and will continue to monitor for changes to legislation, regulation and policy impacting environmental and sustainability issues. Additionally, I-RES benchmarks its environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting against industry benchmarks.

91 Major Safety, Health or Environmental or Asset Loss Incident Failure to respond appropriately to a Major Safety, Health, Environmental incident or to the loss of a material asset leading to adverse impact on reputation, property values and shareholder returns. Strategic Impact Medium Failure to respond appropriately to a major site-based incident and in particular, failure to identify, mitigate and/or react effectively to a major health, safety, or security incident, leading to: ↘ Serious injury, illness, or loss of life ↘ Delays to major building projects ↘ Access restrictions to our properties resulting in loss of income ↘ Inadequate response to regulatory changes ↘ Reputational impact Could result in impacts in terms of loss of income, impact on share price, loss of stakeholder confidence and criminal/civil proceedings. Mitigation Strategy Health and Safety is a core consideration in all management activity and the protection of the health and safety of our tenants, staff and the public are an area of continual focus. I-RES complies with relevant regulation in particular in key areas such as fire safety and housing standards. The operations team is staffed by experienced industry professionals who are based on site at the locations they are responsible for. In addition to ongoing monitoring of our sites, procedures also include an annual safety assessment at letting unit level. This team is also supported where necessary by specialist contractor suppliers in respect of the ongoing maintenance of our sites. There is also ongoing engagement on Health and Safety issues with Owner Management Companies (“OMC’s”) and Managing Agents on sites not managed by I-RES. All sites are fitted with fire detection systems which are subject to ongoing monitoring and quarterly testing. Emergency response arrangements are in place as part of the business continuity and crisis management framework and are aligned to best practice procedures. Test exercises are undertaken and lessons learned reviews completed both on those exercises and any actual incidents that arise from normal operations. Risk Trending Since 31 December 2022 Stable I-RES has a proven record of the successful management of its portfolio of properties over an extended period. With successful completion of the internalisation process all elements of this activity are now within the direct control of I-RES. The safe management of our sites in compliance with relevant regulations and requirements remains a key and ongoing priority for the organisation.

100 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 The focus of the Board during 2023 from a governance perspective was on overseeing the management of the Company through the volatile macro-economic conditions while also arranging for a smooth transition to the new Chair and CEO. In addition, we focused on optimising the systems, technology and governance framework for the Company. There were a number of Board and Committee changes during 2023. Denise Turner joined the Board with effect from 4 May 2023 and became a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination Committees. Denise brings a wealth of real estate experience, which complements the wider European and listed real estate expertise of our other Board members. Biographical information about Ms Turner is included on page 96. As previously announced, Aidan O’Hogan stepped down from the Board following our AGM in May 2023. Joan Garahy succeeded Mr. O’Hogan as Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee stepping down from her role as Chair of the Audit Committee. At the same time, we took the opportunity to review the membership of our Committees to ensure that our new and existing Board members experience and expertise were being best leveraged. Further details on the Committee changes which took effect during 2023 are set out on on page 150 in the Nomination Committee Report. I am grateful to shareholders for understanding the desirability of balancing continuity in stewardship and avoiding changing both the Chair and the Senior Independent Director at the same time in 2023. I stated in the 2022 Annual Report and at the 2023 AGM, that I would be stepping down as Chair at the latest at the AGM in 2024. On 11 January 2024, the Board announced its decision to appoint Hugh Scott-Barrett to succeed me, as Chair of the I-RES Board, with effect from the publication of the Company’s 2023 results on 23 February 2024. As previously announced by the Company, I will not seek re-election to the Board at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2024. Hugh’s appointment follows a rigorous succession process, led by Joan Garahy, Senior Independent Director, with a selection committee from the Board and conducted with the assistance of external advisers in line with the UK Corporate Governance Code. In making this appointment, the Board took into account Hugh’s extensive board and governance experience and his deep understanding of the international listed real estate sector. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Corporate Governance Report for the year ended 31 December 2023. This report describes our governance arrangements, the operation of the Board and its Committees, and how the Board discharged its responsibilities during 2023.

101 Compliance with the 2018 Corporate Governance Code This Corporate Governance Report, in conjunction with the Committee reports, describe how I-RES has applied the principles and followed the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code and the Irish Corporate Governance Annex (the “Code“) and details any departures from their specific provisions during 2023. The Code sets out expected standards of good practice in relation to issues such as board leadership and company purpose, division of responsibilities, composition, succession and evaluation, audit, risk and internal control, and remuneration. This year we complied with the Code throughout the year with the following exception: Provision 36 -As disclosed in prior years, option awards granted as part of the remuneration of the CEO under the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) prior to the 2020 financial year do not comply in full with the holding and vesting recommendations of Provision 36 of the UK Code. Although the Company is not fully compliant in relation to such options previously granted, any Restricted Shares (as defined under the rules of the LTIP) awarded to the executive Directors under the LTIP as and from 2020 are subject to the Company’s Remuneration Policy and arrangements described in the Report of the Remuneration Committee, and comply with Provision 36. Provision 38 - The pension contribution rates of the Executive Directors are not yet fully aligned with those available to the workforce as a whole. The Remuneration Committee have committed to ensuring alignment between the Executive Directors and the workforce from 1 January 2027. Further details are set out in the Remuneration Committee report on page 123. Alternative Investment Fund Manager IRES Fund Management Limited (IFML), which is wholly owned by the Company, continues to serve as the Company’s Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers’ Regulations 2013 (the AIFM Regulations). IFML continues to be authorised as an alternative investment fund manager by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) under the AIFM Regulations. The Company continues to have in place an alternative investment fund manager’s agreement with IFML under the terms of which the Company has delegated certain portfolio, property management and other functions to IFML. Management continues to engage with the CBI in respect of the transfer to the Company of all aspects of IFML’s business and the Company’s application to become authorised as an internally managed Alternative Investment Fund. As Chair, Hugh will oversee the I-RES Strategic Review announced on 8 January 2024. That review will comprise a comprehensive consideration of all strategic options available to the Company to maximise and unlock value for Shareholders. On 13 March 2024, the Board announced the appointment of Eddie Byrne as CEO Designate, with effect from 8 April 2024. Mr Byrne will succeed Margaret Sweeney as CEO and Executive Director of the Board with effect from 1 May 2024. As announced on 31 October 2023, Margaret Sweeney notified the Board of her intention to retire from I-RES in April 2024, having served as CEO for the past six and a half years. Margaret will step down on 30 April 2024 following an agreed transition period with the CEO Designate. Eddie Byrne’s appointment also follows an extensive and rigorous selection process, led by the Nomination Committee, and assisted by Chair Hugh Scott-Barrett following his appointment to the role in January 2024. I leave the Board in good hands with an experienced Chair and a skilled and diverse membership with appropriate, highly experienced individuals and local market knowledge. The Board has been significantly refreshed. By the time of the 2024 AGM, more than 50% of the Directors will have a tenure of less than 3 years, and the Committee Chairs and the Senior Independent Director role will all have been rotated within the previous 12 months. I look forward to engaging with our Shareholders for one last time at our AGM on 2 May 2024, full details of which can be found in the notice of AGM.

103 Board Committees The Board is supported by its four principal Board Committees in discharging its duties. At each Board meeting, the Chair of each of these Committees provides an update on their committee’s activities. The duties and responsibilities of each of these Committees are set out clearly in written terms of reference which are approved by the Board and published on the Company’s website. These terms of reference were reviewed and updated in November 2023. Audit Committee (See page 112 for full report) This Committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, including its annual and half-yearly reports, preliminary announcements and any other formal statements relating to its financial performance, and reviews and reports to the Board on significant financial reporting issues and judgements which those statements contain.

104 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Board Composition The Board is currently composed of nine (9) Directors, the Non-Executive Chair, two Executive Directors, five independent Non-Executive Directors and one non-independent Non-Executive Director. The Board is therefore majority independent. Board size is a matter that the Nomination Committee keeps under continuous review and one which they intend to address as current Board members come to the end of their normal 9 year term. As part of the annual Board Evaluation process, the Nomination Committee reviewed the overall balance of skill, experience, knowledge and independence of the Board and its Committees to ensure that they can effectively discharge their responsibilities. The Nomination Committee is satisfied that the Board composition provides a suitable balance of skills and experience across a number of industry sectors. The Board collectively has strong experience of acquiring and managing real estate assets providing the Company with a good knowledge base. As highlighted in the biographies of the Directors on pages 94 to 98, each of the Directors brings a different set of skills and experience to the Board. The Directors’ diverse skill sets facilitate the consideration of issues at meetings of the Board from a range of perspectives. As evidenced by the skills matrix that is completed by each Director as part of the Board evaluation, the Directors have diverse skills. The Committee is satisfied that the current Board composition includes an appropriate diversity of skills. These skills are outlined in the skills matrix set out below. Skill Number of Directors with that skill Management Experience 9 Financial Acumen 9 Capital Markets 8 Real Estate Experience 9 Property Development Experience 7 Sustainability 8 Human Resources/ People Management 9 Government Relations 5 Audit, Risk Management and Compliance 9 Health & Safety 9 Technology/Digital/ Cyber Security 4 PLC Experience 8 International Experience 9 Mergers & Acquisitions 9 For information on the Company’s Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy, please refer to the Report of the Nomination Committee on page 150. The division of responsibilities between the Chair, the CEO and the Senior Independent Director has been clearly established, set out in writing and agreed to by the Board.

105 Board Meetings and Attendance Directors are expected to participate in all scheduled Board meetings as well as each annual general meeting. A schedule of Board meetings for the following year is circulated to the Board in advance of the financial year-end. At each quarterly meeting of the Board, there are certain standing agenda items (for example, strategy discussion, update on investment and development plans, review of risk, operations and financial reports, update on ESG progress and update on investor relations). This agenda seeks to ensure that the Board has the opportunity to have in-depth discussions on key issues across all aspects of the Group’s activities. The Chair and the Company Secretary ensure that the Directors receive clear, timely information on all relevant matters necessary to assist them in the performance of their duties. Each committee also approves a committee work plan for the following year. Declan Moylan 19/19 Margaret Sweeney 19/19 Brian Fagan 19/19 Joan Garahy 18/19 Phillip Burns 18/19 Stefanie Frensch 16/19 Tom Kavanagh 17/19 Hugh Scott-Barrett 18/19 Denise Turner* 13/13 Aidan O’Hogan** 5/6 * Denise Turner was appointed to the Board on 4 May 2023. ** Aidan O’Hogan retired from the Board on 4 May 2023. *** All Board members attended all scheduled quarterly Board meetings. BOARD MEETINGS ATTENDED/ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND (INCLUDING AD HOC MEETINGS) 1 January- 31 December 2023*** The Board meets a minimum of four (4) times each calendar year and otherwise as required. Prior to such meetings taking place, an agenda and Board papers are circulated electronically via a secure Board portal to the Directors to ensure that there is adequate time for them to be read and to facilitate constructive challenge and robust and informed discussions. The portal is also used to distribute reference documents and other useful resources. The Company Secretary is responsible for the administrative and procedural aspects of the Board meetings. The Board held 19 meetings during 2023. All Board members attended all scheduled quarterly Board meetings. In accordance with Principle 13 of the UK Code, the Chair met during the year with the Non-Executive Directors without the presence of the CEO. Time Commitment The Board, supported by the Nomination Committee, carefully considered the external commitments of the Chair and each of the Executive and Non-Executive Directors. As evidenced by the attendance levels shown on the table, the Board is satisfied that each Director has committed enough time to be able to fulfil their duties and has capacity to continue doing so. Information, Support and Independent Advice Directors have direct access to the Company Secretary. The Board has also approved a procedure for Directors to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, where appropriate. Remuneration Details of the remuneration of Directors are set out in the Report of the Remuneration Committee on page 141. Director’s Induction The Chair, with the support of the Company Secretary, is responsible for preparing and coordinating a comprehensive induction programme for newly appointed Directors. This is intended to give a broad introduction to the Group’s business, its areas of significant risk and to enable new Directors to understand the Company’s core purpose and values so that they can be effective Directors from the outset. As part of this induction programme, new Directors receive an information pack which includes an I-RES Group structure overview, key policies, historical financial reports, schedule of Board meetings and information on how to access the Company’s Board portal. A number of governance matters are also outlined, including Directors’ duties, conflicts of interest and Market Abuse Regulations. The Company Secretary is available to advise each Board member on queries or concerns. Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

106 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Other key elements of the induction programme include a tour of the Group’s property portfolio with Senior Management in order to familiarise the new Director with the Group’s operations, property management, the property portfolio and key stakeholders. This meeting also provides new Directors with an opportunity to ask any questions they may have on the nature and operations of the business, and on the implementation of the Group’s business strategy. The new Director is also invited to meet with other key people at I-RES responsible for risk, insurance, internal audit, acquisitions and development, operations and financial reporting. Development of Directors The Nomination Committee, on behalf of the Board, assesses the training needs of the Directors on at least an annual basis. A combination of tailored Board and Committee agenda items and other Board activities, including briefing sessions, further assist the Directors in continually updating their skills, and their knowledge of and familiarity with the Company, as required to fulfil their roles. The Board also arranges for presentations from Senior Management and I-RES’ other advisors on matters relevant to I-RES’ business. During the year, the Board received presentations by external experts on the Market Abuse Regulations, CSRD, Current Real Estate market and implications of wider macro and interest rate volatility, Anti- Money Laundering/Terrorist Financing as well as property related topics. They also received presentations on the Political and Regulatory landscape for property in Ireland, Interest Rate Management and Corporate Sustainability-related Reporting with a Focus on Property, Construction and Real Estate. Independence The independence of each of the Non-Executive Directors is considered upon appointment and on an annual basis by the Board. The Board has determined that all of the Non-Executive Directors, save Mr Phillip Burns, are independent within the meaning of the Code. The Chair, Hugh Scott-Barrett, was independent on appointment within the meaning of the Code. At the time of his appointment as a Director, Phillip Burns was regarded as an Independent Non-Executive Director. In 2017, the Board determined that Mr Burns was no longer considered to be independent having regard to certain cross directorships he held at the time with another (now former) Director and, latterly, due to the position that Mr Burns’ held until March 2023 as an employee of CAPREIT, the Company’s largest shareholder, and the parent of IRES Fund Management Limited (“IFML”), the Company’s investment manager until its internalisation in January 2022. Having stepped down from his position as an employee of Capreit on 31 March 2023 the Board reviewed Mr Burns’ position and concluded that Mr Burns should not be regarded as independent, given, in particular, his previous senior employment position at CAPREIT which continued to have a material business relationship with the Company until the termination on 30 April 2022 of the Transitional Services Agreement between the Company and CAPREIT that had been put in place as part of the internalisation of IFML. Under the Code, such a material business relationship is considered to be a circumstance that is likely to impair, or appear to impair, a Non-Executive Director’s independence while in place and for a period of three years following its cessation. The Board is of the view that Mr Moylan’s performance as a Non-Executive Director (and as Chairman throughout 2023 and up to 23 February 2024) continues to be effective, that he contributes significantly in these roles through his individual skills, considerable knowledge and experience of the Company, and that he continues to demonstrate strong independence in the manner in which he discharges his responsibilities. As announced at the 2023 Annual General Meeting Mr Moylan will not stand for re-election at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. Consequently, the Board is satisfied that, despite his length of tenure, there is no association with management which could compromise his independence. Re-election In accordance with the provisions of the Code, each I-RES Director is obliged to retire at each annual general meeting and offer themselves for re-election at the annual general meeting. Conflicts of Interest The Board reviews potential conflicts of interest as a standing agenda item at each Board meeting. Directors have continuing obligations to update the Board on any changes to these conflicts. Section 231 of the Companies Act, 2014 requires each Director who is in any way, either directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company to declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of the Directors. The Company keeps a register of all such declarations, which may be inspected by any Director, secretary, auditor or member of the Company at the offices of the Company (attention Company Secretary), South Dock House, Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland with reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours.

107 Subject to certain exceptions, the Articles of Association generally prohibit Directors from voting at Board meetings or meetings of Committees of the Board on any resolution concerning a matter in which they have a direct or indirect interest which is material to, or a duty which conflicts or may conflict with the interests of, the Company. Directors may not be counted in the quorum in relation to resolutions on which they are not entitled to vote. Risk Management and Internal Control The Board has overall responsibility for the effectiveness of the Company’s system of risk management and internal control. The management of risk is critical to the execution of the Company’s strategy. The material risks and uncertainties the Group faces across its business are key areas of Board and management focus. The Board has delegated responsibility for monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system to the Audit Committee. The work done by the Audit Committee in this area is set out in the Report of the Audit Committee on page 112. The Board and the Audit Committee have ensured that management has maintained a robust system of risk management and internal control. The Board and the Audit Committee periodically review and consider if the risk management and internal control systems are operating effectively. EY were appointed as I-RES’ external provider of internal audit services in 2021. The Audit Committee received and reviewed internal audit reports from EY to help in their annual assessment of the principal risks facing I-RES and the controls in place to mitigate these risks. The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for identifying, measuring and managing the significant risks, including any principal risks, and emerging risks, faced by the Group in achieving its strategic objectives, that this process has been in place for the year ended 31 December 2023 and up to the date of approval of this Report, and that this process is regularly reviewed by the Board. For further details on the principal risks being faced by the Group, please see the Principal Risks and Uncertainties Section of the Risk Report on pages 82 to 91. The process adopted complies with the guidance contained in Guidance on Risk Management, Internal Control and Related Financial and Business Reporting (2014) as published by the Financial Reporting Council. Board Evaluation and Effectiveness The performance and effectiveness of the Board and its Committees is reviewed on an ongoing basis and is subject to a formal and rigorous annual evaluation according to the principles of the Code. As the Company is a smaller company for the purposes of the Irish Annex, the Company is not required to engage an external facilitator to conduct the annual performance evaluation process; however, it does so on a voluntary basis every three years. Full details of the 2023 externally facilitated Board evaluation are set out on page 151 of the Nomination Committee Report. Engagement and Culture Each stakeholder group requires a tailored engagement approach to foster effective and mutually beneficial relationships. By understanding stakeholders, the Board can factor the potential impact of its decisions on each stakeholder group and consider their needs and concerns. Our ambition is to build a sustainable and responsible business that is aligned with the long-term approach we take to investing, building, and maintaining our properties, supporting, and servicing our residents, employees, our vendor partners and the wider community in which we operate. We will continue working with key stakeholders to further develop a responsible business. In developing a collaborative and partner-focused organisation that clearly defines how it intends to lead, the Board and Senior Leadership Team continue to actively engage with all employees of the Company to support a company culture that promotes integrity, openness, diversity and active responsiveness with our Shareholders and wider stakeholders. Elected by our Shareholders to oversee the management of the Company, I-RES’ Board ensures that the long-term interests of shareholders are advanced responsibly, while balancing the interests of our other stakeholders, including our residents and our communities. The Board has the opportunity to assess and monitor I-RES’ company culture through ongoing engagements between the Board, and senior management of the Company and also through the engagements between Tom Kavanagh, as Workforce Engagement Director, and the wider workforce. In so doing the Board can ensure policies, practices and behaviours are aligned with the Company’s purpose, values and strategy. Examples of the Group’s engagements with shareholders, employees, residents and communities during 2023 are set out below. Full details of I-RES’ engagement activities during 2023 are set out in the ESG Report which is accessible electronically at  www.i-res.ie.

108 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Shareholder Engagement The Board recognises the importance of effective engagement with its shareholders in order to obtain the views of shareholders as a whole. I-RES has a comprehensive investor relations program including providing detailed presentations to both existing and prospective institutional shareholders, after the release of the interim and year-end results, as part of investor days organised by brokerage firms, EPRA, investment banks, amongst others, and following significant announcements. The CEO, the CFO and members of senior management participated in various conferences and property tours and engaged in ad-hoc meetings and calls with shareholders on an ongoing basis during 2023. The Executive Directors provide the Board with regular feedback from investor meetings so that the Board are kept up to date on all relevant matters. In addition, the Board receives regular market updates and commentary from brokers and analysts in respect of the Company. The Chair and the other Directors engage directly with shareholders and also welcome the opportunity to address shareholders questions at the Company’s annual general meeting each year. The Chair, Senior Independent Director and Committee Chairs arrange meetings with shareholders to consult on governance and other matters and to address issues or concerns that cannot be dealt with through the usual investor relations channels. The Chair and Board members had significant engagement and communications with shareholders during 2023. In accordance with the Company’s ongoing commitment to direct and transparent dialogue with our stakeholders, the Board engaged with shareholders in order to understand and discuss any concerns with respect to the resolutions at the 2023 AGM which received less than 80% of the votes cast in favour. These resolutions related to the 2022 Remuneration Report, an annual request for authority to disapply pre-emption rights in specified circumstances and the re-election of Executive Directors. In advance of the 2023 AGM the Chair, SID and Executive Directors engaged directly with shareholders to discuss the proposed resolutions and concerns raised by Vision Capital. During 2023, the Chair of the Remuneration Committee consulted extensively with shareholders, and particularly those who voted against the 2022 Remuneration Report, in order to identify concerns in respect of the 2022 Remuneration Report and as part of the preparation process for the drafting of the new 4 year Remuneration Policy being put to the 2024 AGM for approval. As part of this process, she had significant engagement with 11 of our largest institutional shareholders (covering c. 40% of our total issued share capital). Based on feedback collated by the Company from this process, apart from Vision Capital, who have made their views on the Company’s strategy public, no single overarching theme has been identified by shareholders, rather dissent expressed reflects a range of individual factors (including weighting of TSR, concern over potential windfall gains on LTIP, removal of NAV metric from STIP, reduced dividends). The Remuneration Committee has completed a comprehensive review of the existing Remuneration Policy, taking on board all of the feedback received from shareholders, and will put a new 4 year remuneration policy (the 2024 Remuneration Policy), which it believes will address these concerns, to shareholders for approval at the 2024 AGM. Further details of the review and the new policy are set out in the Report of the Remuneration Committee on pages 126 to 133. Pre-emption rights continue to be an area with a range of shareholder views and evolving guidance. Although the pre-emption resolutions proposed by the Board align fully with what the Company believes to be standard resolutions for companies listed on the main market of Euronext Dublin as well as the UK Investment Association’s Share Capital Management Guidelines and the Pre-Emption Group’s Statement of Principles, the Board understands from the shareholder engagement process that some shareholders have policy guidelines which prevent them from supporting these resolutions and a small number of shareholders have made their views on the Company’s strategy public and so do not support these resolutions. The Board considers that these resolutions continue to be in the best interests of the Company, and in particular are necessary to afford flexibility to the Company to the extent they may be required to implement the findings of the ongoing Strategic Review, and so the Board has resolved to table these resolutions again at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2024.

109 From the shareholder discussions held by the Chair and non-executive Board members, both before and after the 2023 AGM, the Company notes that it is the same small number of shareholders who disagree with the Company’s strategy, who have also voted against the pre- emption resolutions, and voted against the re-election of the Executive Directors at the 2023 AGM. As evidenced by the results of the 2023 AGM, the majority of shareholders voted in favour of the re-election of these Executive Directors and have generally expressed their confidence in the senior management team. The Board reiterates that it is unanimous in its confidence in the senior management team and their ability to deliver on the Company’s strategy. On 18 December 2023 the Company received a notice from a 5% shareholder, Vision Capital requisitioning an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) of the Company to consider resolutions seeking to remove five of the nine existing Directors of I-RES, to appoint five nominees as directors of the Company filling any vacancies arising, seeking the issue of a shareholder direction to the Board to appoint an adviser(s) to assist I-RES in a strategic review process with a view to concluding a sale of I-RES or its assets or a liquidation within the next 24 months and seeking to amend the Company’s Articles of Association to require that the Board comply with any such shareholder direction. The Board was required by law to convene the requisitioned EGM. For the detailed reasons which are set out in the Company’s Circular dated 8 January 2024 (the “Circular”) available on the Company’s website at www.i-res.ie, the Board recommended that shareholders vote against all of these resolutions. This recommendation was endorsed by leading corporate governance advisory institutions, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis which each also recommended that shareholders vote against the resolutions. In December 2023 after receiving the EGM Requisition, the Board formed a special Committee consisting of the then Chair, Declan Moylan, Chair designate Hugh Scott-Barrett, Senior Independent Director, Joan Garahy, INED Denise Turner and CEO Margaret Sweeney. This Committee met on 40 occasions from 19 December 2023 to the EGM on 16 February 2024 and provided regular updates to the Board including at 6 specially convened meetings of the Board in the same period. The then Chair, Chair designate, Senior Independent Director and the Executive Directors had extensive shareholder engagement with c. 70% of the shareholder register leading up the EGM in respect of these resolutions. In addition, as set out in the Chronology of Events in the Circular, the then Chair and Board members engaged in extensive discussions with Vision Capital on an ongoing basis from July 2021, including detailed discussions with a view to exploring whether there was a basis on which it could agree the withdrawal of the EGM Requisition Notice. The discussions included the offer of adding a Board member, whilst being mindful of the minority nature of their holding, the balance of existing Board skills and considering the interests of all shareholders to try and avoid the unnecessary cost and disruption of an EGM. They also included the nature of a proposed I-RES strategic review. These discussions were unsuccessful. The EGM was held on 16 February 2024 and all of the shareholder resolutions were defeated. The Board continues to try to seek resolution through engagement with Vision Capital, in the interests of all stakeholders. The Company is grateful to all of those shareholders who took the time to engage in these discussions. The Board will continue to engage with shareholders, and to consider the views expressed, as it makes its decisions on each relevant matter going forward.

110 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 General Meetings of Shareholders The 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held on 2 May 2024 at the Herbert Park Hotel, Ballsbridge Terrace, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Formal notification will be sent to shareholders in advance of the meeting. The annual general meeting (AGM) gives shareholders an opportunity to hear a presentation on the Group’s activities and performance during the year, to ask questions of the Chairman and, through him, the Board Committee Chairs and members, and to vote on each resolution put to the meeting. For a description of the operation of general meetings, the key powers of such meetings, shareholders’ rights and the exercise of such rights at general meetings, see General Meetings in the Report of the Directors on page 170. Workforce Engagement Our diverse and talented team of professionals are the drivers of the I-RES culture. We believe that building an inclusive culture and making the most of the strength and diversity of our people will continue to be important for our success. As a business we recognise the importance of our employees in maintaining our position as Ireland’s leading provider of private rental accommodation and in the successful delivery of our business strategy and strong results. We continuously invest in our employees, providing them with opportunities to improve their skills and to attend personal development programmes supported by good communications and a supportive working environment. As at 31 December 2023 the Company had 95 employees. One of the Board’s priorities is to ensure that I-RES has a collaborative, inclusive culture, ensuring our employees feel a strong sense of belonging and that we treat people equally and fairly and employ based on the principle of equal opportunity. In March 2022, the Board appointed Tom Kavanagh as the Workforce Engagement Director to allow the Board the opportunity to receive, understand and consider the views of our employees and take account of employee interests in its discussions and decision making. Since his appointment, Mr. Kavanagh has engaged directly with all employees across I-RES. In 2023 he visited all of the regional offices and the head office, met with the teams and received presentations from team members on projects being undertaken such as the Green Ambassadors programme, the I-RES intranet - known as the ‘I-RES Times’ and the I-RES Living app. Mr Kavanagh reports regularly to the Board on these engagements. In 2023, our new Director, Denise Turner undertook property tours of the new properties in the portfolio together with a number of the employees who work at those sites. This provided another informal opportunity for the employees to meet a Board member. In January 2024, after the announcement of his appointment as Chair Designate, Hugh Scott- Barrett also visited all of the regional offices and the head office in order to meet the teams and gain a deeper understanding of the business. In Autumn 2023, I-RES conducted its second annual employee engagement survey as an internally managed Company. Focusing on a range of key engagement dimensions designed to explore and evaluate employee experience whilst boosting engagement. I-RES is pleased to report a very strong performance with an overall employee engagement score of 90% despite the challenging external landscape. Resident, and community-level engagement During 2023, the I-RES team continued with its comprehensive programme of resident and community engagement further details of which are set out in the 2023 ESG report accessible at www.i-res.ie. Details of this programme and the feedback from residents and communities are reported to the Board through the Sustainability Committee and through the results of the annual Resident’s Survey. The 2023 Annual Resident Survey had over 1,300 responses, and provides the Company the opportunity to measure resident sentiment, assess resident satisfaction and to identify areas for improvement.

112 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 I joined the Board in June 2018 and have been a member of the Audit Committee since then. I took over as Chair of the Committee from 4 May 2023, when Ms. Garahy stepped down from the Committee having served as the Chair since April 2017. I would like to thank Joan for her many years chairing the Committee and her support as part of the handover process. This report demonstrates how the Audit Committee fulfilled its responsibilities during the year under the appropriate regulatory frameworks. Given the volatile macro-economic environment and rising interest rates during 2023 a key focus area for the Committee was on risk management and in particular balance sheet management. In line with its focus on driving value for shareholders, the Company identified €100 million of assets for disposal during 2023. As part of its capital optimisation and shareholder value strategy, the Committee, together with the Board, kept the disposal process under continuous review. As in previous years, a key focus of the Audit Committee was to ensure that the semi-annual and 2023 year-end investment property valuation processes were conducted appropriately. For both valuations, the investment property portfolio was split for purposes of valuation and valued by two independent external valuers. The Audit Committee objectively assessed the valuations prepared by the independent valuers and was satisfied that the assumptions and methodologies being used were appropriate and reasonable. As part of embedding the internalised structure and the control environment in respect of that structure, in 2023 the Audit Committee had a particular focus on IT and cyber security. The Committee received regular reviews and updates from the Company’s external Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in respect of the Company’s Cybersecurity Risk Management Programme. The Committee assessed the programme and satisfied itself that, while cyber security risks will continue to evolve, the risk management programme in place in the Company is robust and progressing well. The Audit Committee reviewed KPMG’s audit findings with them in detail and noted that no material issues arose during the audit. The Committee continues to monitor KPMG’s objectivity and independence. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE Dear Shareholder, It is my pleasure to present my first Report as Chair of the Audit Committee, for the year ended 31 December 2023. Audit Committee Membership Tom Kavanagh (Chair) Appointed 1 June 2018 Appointed Chair 4 May 2023 Denise Turner Appointed 4 May 2023 Stefanie Frensch Appointed 1 July 2021 Hugh Scott-Barrett Appointed 4 May 2023 Stepped down 23 February 2024 Joan Garahy Appointed 18 April 2017 Stepped down 4 May 2023

113 One of the Audit Committee’s key responsibilities is to review the Group’s risk management and internal control structure, including in particular the operational effectiveness of internal controls. During the year, the Committee carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company and closely monitored the risk management and internal control structures, ensuring that the enterprise risk management system was embedded throughout the Company on an ongoing basis. The Committee meets regularly with EY as the external provider of internal audit services. The Committee also meets regularly with the Company’s tax advisers to ensure that it is kept informed of anticipated changes to tax laws and regulations that may impact the Group. The Audit Committee assisted the Board in determining that the 2023 Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements, when taken as a whole, are fair, balanced, and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s position, performance, business model and strategy. Looking ahead Looking ahead to the 2024 financial year, the Audit Committee will remain focused on the audit and assurance processes within the business, and maintain its oversight of risk, financial, valuation, taxation and evolving regulatory requirements. Key focus areas of the Audit Committee during 2024 will include, balance sheet management and covenant compliance, cyber and IT security and the upcoming ESG related reporting requirements. I trust that you will find this report to be useful in understanding the operations and activities of the Audit Committee during the year.

116 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 How the Audit Committee Discharged its Responsibilities in 2023 The Audit Committee’s agenda is set based on the Group’s financial calendar and the Audit Committee’s work plan, which allows the Audit Committee to fulfil its role in an efficient manner.

117 Financial Reporting and Significant Financial Judgements With respect to this Report and the financial statements included herein, the Audit Committee assessed whether suitable accounting policies had been adopted and whether management had made appropriate judgements. The Audit Committee paid particular attention to matters which it considered could have a material impact on the Group’s results and those matters which involve a higher level of complexity, judgement or estimation by management. The most significant matters considered by the Audit Committee in relation to this Report and the financial statements contained herein for the year were as follows: Investment Property Valuations The Group had investment property with a fair value of €1,274 million as at 31 December 2023, as set out in note 5 to the Group financial statements. The Group has appointed two independent valuers, CBRE Unlimited Company (“CBRE”) and Savills Advisory Services (Ireland) Ltd. (“Savills”). The Audit Committee considered the investment property valuation process carried out by management in order to satisfy itself that the balances were stated appropriately. These reviews involved an understanding of management’s analytical procedures, management’s discussions with CBRE and Savills, and an assessment of the market inputs utilised on each property prior to recording the valuations obtained. The Audit Committee assessed the performance and independence of the two valuers and is satisfied with their performance, and that both valuers are independent. The CFO has confirmed to the Audit Committee that he is satisfied that the valuers conducted their work in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ Valuation Standards. In addition, the Audit Committee met with the two independent valuers and discussed the year-end valuations, valuation methodology and significant assumptions used. The Audit Committee also discussed the current market dynamics with both valuers, specifically focusing on the broader macro- economic environment including the evolving interest rate environment, inflationary pressures along with the continued very high demand for rental accommodation in Ireland and the impact of these circumstances on the interim and year- end valuations. As both valuers rely, as part of their assumptions, on comparable evidence from recent market transactions to benchmark and support their valuations of the Group’s properties, the Audit Committee assessed the relevance and appropriateness of these transactions, in conjunction with management. August – Q2 2023 ↘ Reviewed and considered the approach adopted by the independent valuers, including assumptions, procedures and methodologies applied in valuing the Group’s property portfolio ↘ Carried out a review with the CFO of the Company’s compliance with debt covenants ↘ Reviewed the Group’s Interim announcement of financial results for HY2023 ↘ Reviewed and discussed the reports received from the external auditor following the review process in respect of the Interim report for the period to 30 June 2023 ↘ Discussed the proposed H1 2023 dividends ↘ Reviewed and discussed a quarterly internal audit update from EY ↘ Reviewed and considered the Group’s key risks, internal control policies and procedures ↘ Reviewed and discussed a quarterly tax update ↘ Reviewed and discussed the I-RES Insurance Programme ↘ Reviewed and considered a cyber and data security report from the external CISO ↘ Reviewed quarterly reports from IFML (as AIFM) November – Q3 2023 ↘ Reviewed and approved the report received from the external auditor on the proposed audit plan and strategy in respect of the 2023 financial year ↘ Carried out a review with the CFO of the Company’s compliance with debt covenants ↘ Reviewed and considered the Group’s key risks, internal control policies and procedures and risk management systems ↘ Received and discussed the IT Security Update ↘ Reviewed and discussed a quarterly internal audit update from EY ↘ Reviewed and discussed a quarterly tax update ↘ Reviewed and recommended for approval amendments to the Committee Terms of Reference ↘ Reviewed quarterly reports from IFML (as AIFM) Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

118 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Following a review of the detailed valuation analysis provided by management and detailed discussions with management and the independent valuers, the Audit Committee was satisfied that the significant inputs used for the valuation, any provisions recorded against the valuation of the investment properties, and the valuation of the investment properties were appropriate. The Audit Committee discussed the valuation process with management and each valuer and confirmed with each of them that they are satisfied with the quality and accuracy of the property information provided to them. The external auditor also inspected the valuers’ reports, performed test work on the information provided by the Company to both valuers, met with the valuers as part of their audit procedures, and communicated to the Audit Committee their comments and observations. Other Matters Other matters considered by the Audit Committee included the disclosure of non-IFRS measures (“Alternative Performance Measures”), tax compliance, and regulatory obligations and accounting disclosures. Going Concern The Audit Committee has reviewed and is satisfied with a presentation from the CFO in support of the Board’s Statement on Going Concern as set out on page 80. Viability Statement The Audit Committee has reviewed a report from the CFO and is satisfied that this assessment adequately addresses the principal risks disclosed in the Risk Report on pages 83 to 91 and that a three-year time horizon for the viability model is appropriate to the Company’s business. Furthermore, the Audit Committee has reviewed the assessment of the Group’s viability by management, as stated on page 80. The review included: ↘ Key assumptions used; ↘ Assessment of prospects; and ↘ Assessment of viability. REIT Status The Audit Committee reviewed a report from the CFO demonstrating the Company’s compliance with the REIT requirements as at 31 December 2023. The Audit Committee has confirmed to the Board that the Company is compliant with the REIT rules. Fair, Balanced and Understandable The Code requires that the Board should present a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s position and prospects, and specifically that they consider that the annual report and financial statements included therein, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable, and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy. At the request of the Board, the Audit Committee considered whether this Report and financial statements included herein met these requirements. The Audit Committee considered the process put in place by management for the preparation of the annual report and financial statements included herein, and in particular the timetable, co-ordination and review activities. The Audit Committee discussed these arrangements with management. Key considerations of the Audit Committee when reflecting on these requirements included: ↘ The information and reporting the Audit Committee had received during the course of the financial year; ↘ The balance of information included in the annual report against the Audit Committee’s understanding of the operations and performance of the Group; ↘ The compliance of the financial statements with all applicable financial reporting standards and any other required regulations; and ↘ The language used in the annual report ensuring it was understandable to a wide variety of shareholders. Arising from the Audit Committee’s work in this regard, the Audit Committee and the Board concluded that this Report and the financial statements included herein, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable, and that they provide the necessary information for shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy. The Board statement to this effect is on page 172. Risk Management and Internal Controls The Board has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee to monitor the Group’s risk management and internal control systems. In order to discharge this responsibility for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023, the Audit Committee: ↘ Reviewed the Group’s principal risks and uncertainties, including any emerging risks; ↘ Reviewed the Company’s enterprise risk management framework and internal control systems and their operating effectiveness with the Risk Manager. For further details on these systems, please see the Risk Management and Internal Control Systems section of the Risk Report on pages 75 to 79; ↘ Reviewed quarterly reports from IFML (as AIFM) relating to investment management, fund risk management, regulatory compliance, operational risk management, capital and financial management and distribution;

119 ↘ Reviewed quarterly updates from the external Chief Information Security Officer in respect of the company’s cyber and data security programme; ↘ Received quarterly updates on any internal control compliance issues, risks or material legal matters; and ↘ Appointed EY, with effect from 1 February 2022, to provide an outsourced internal audit service for the Group and reviewed quarterly reports from EY in this role. In addition, the Board receives quarterly reporting from the CEO, CFO, the Managing Director, Operations and the Vice-President, Investment and Asset Management. External Audit One of the key roles of the Audit Committee is to monitor the performance, objectivity and independence of the external auditor. Open, direct and honest communication between the Audit Committee, the external auditor and management is essential in ensuring both an effective audit and auditor independence. In November 2023, the Audit Committee met with the external auditor to agree the FY 2023 audit plan. To ensure a quality audit, the external auditor needs to be aware of the business risks. Therefore, the Audit Committee discussed and agreed with the External Auditor the key business, financial statements and audit risks, and the materiality being used for the audit to ensure that the audit was appropriately focused. In advance of the commencement of the annual audit, the Audit Committee reviewed the external auditor’s letter of engagement, together with a presentation from the external auditor confirming their independence within the meaning of the regulations and professional standards. In February 2024, in advance of the finalisation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Audit Committee received a report from the external auditor on their key audit findings, including the key areas of risk and significant judgements, and discussed any issues arising with them in order for the Audit Committee to form a judgement on the financial statements. In order to assist the Audit Committee in evaluating the external audit process and to ensure continuous improvement, following the completion of the audit, the Audit Committee members discussed with management the effectiveness of the external auditor and the external audit process in general. At least annually, the Audit Committee meets with the external auditor without the presence of management to discuss any matters the external auditor may wish to raise. The Audit Committee continues to be satisfied with the performance of the external auditor, and has determined that KPMG remain effective, objective and independent. Statutory Auditor On completion of a tender process in 2017 and having considered the requirements of the Statutory Audit Directive of 15 June 2016 (Statutory Instrument SI 312 of 2016), the Board approved the appointment of KPMG as statutory auditor with effect from the financial year ended 31 December 2018. This appointment was approved by the shareholders at the 2019 annual general meeting. KPMG remains the statutory auditor for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The audit partner in charge within KPMG for the 2023 audit was David Moran. The Audit Committee will keep the tenure of the external auditor under review in light of best practice and recent legislation. The Audit Committee currently has no plans for re-tendering of the statutory auditor. Independence and Non-Audit Services The Company has a policy which requires the preapproval by the Audit Committee of all non-audit services to be provided by the external auditor. The level of non-audit services provided by the external auditor is reviewed at least on a quarterly basis and, in conjunction with the external auditor, the impact on independence and objectivity is assessed. KPMG completes the audit of the financial statements and PricewaterhouseCoopers completes the tax related reviews, ensuring that both parties remain independent. Details of the amounts paid to the external auditor during the year for audit and non-audit services are set out in note 29 to the Group financial statements. Internal Audit In February 2022, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of EY as the external provider of an internal audit function for the Group. EY continued to provide outsourced internal audit services to the Group during 2023. The Committee is satisfied that EY have sufficient experience and expertise to provide the internal audit services for the Group. The Audit Committee has direct access to EY’s internal audit team. The Audit Committee assessed the annual internal audit plan put forth by EY’s internal audit function and received periodic reports on work performed during 2023.

120 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE Dear Shareholder, It is my pleasure to present my first Report as Chair of the Remuneration Committee, for the year ended 31 December 2023. Remuneration Committee Membership Joan Garahy (Chair) Appointed 18 April 2017 Appointed Chair 4 May 2023 Declan Moylan Appointed 31 March 2014 Denise Turner Appointed 4 May 2023 Hugh Scott-Barrett Appointed 4 May 2023 Aidan O’Hogan Appointed 31 March 2014 Retired 4 May 2023 Tom Kavanagh Appointed 1 June 2018 Stepped down 4 May 2023 I joined the Board in April 2017 and have been a member of the Remuneration Committee since then. I took over as Chair of the Committee from 4 May 2023, having succeeded Aidan O’Hogan when he retired from the Committee and as a member of the Board at our AGM in May 2023. I would like to thank Aidan for his many years chairing the Committee and his support as part of the handover process. At the AGM in May 2024 our revised Directors’ Remuneration Policy will be put forward for an advisory shareholder vote. As is customary our Annual Remuneration Report will also be put forward for an advisory shareholder vote. Finally, as I detail further in this report our LTIP rules expire this year and therefore we will also be seeking shareholder support via a binding resolution for an updated version of our LTIP Rules. It is very important that we secure shareholder support for our Remuneration related resolutions at this AGM to enable us to continue to incentivise and reward management for delivering the strategy and maximising shareholder value. Performance Overview In 2023, our revenue increased by 3.5%, due to the full year impact of new supply in 2022 and organic rental growth backed by our consistently high occupancy levels. Net Rental Income increased to €67.9 million, with a broadly stable margin of 77.3%, showing the strength of the business’s fundamentals as well as continued and active cost management initiatives and discipline, despite inflationary pressures. Adjusted EBITDA grew to €56.0 million, an increase of 3.3% year on year, showing the strong consistent cash generation of the business with the EBITDA margin remaining stable at 64%. EPRA Earnings reduced to €27.6 million (2022: €30.9 million), with the decrease largely attributable to increases in interest costs, offset by increased operating profit and the saving of the non-recurring costs from internalisation. 2024 Remuneration Policy The current Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM and, in line with the EU Shareholders’ Rights Directive legislation, is subject to renewal at our 2024 AGM. Accordingly, a new Remuneration Policy will be put forward for shareholder approval on an advisory basis at our 2024 AGM. Over the past 18 months, my predecessor and I have engaged extensively with shareholders in relation to remuneration arrangements, including most recently in respect of the significant vote against the Directors’ Remuneration Report at our

121 2023 AGM. The Board are grateful for all of the time shareholders have taken to engage with us and for the feedback we have received. The feedback we received reflected a range of individual factors and not all of which were directly related to the executive remuneration arrangements, rather than one overarching theme. These included the weighting of the TSR metric within the LTIP, concern over potential windfall gains in respect of the 2023 LTIP awards granted, the removal of the NAV metric from the annual bonus, and reduced dividend payments. We have taken this feedback into account in reviewing our Remuneration Policy. The Committee has also had to take into consideration a number of factors which I will outline below, but above all we have sought to balance incentivising the delivery of the existing agile business model and strategy, aligned with prevailing macroeconomic conditions ensuring that we can continue to deliver sustainable growth and performance, while also undertaking a Strategic Review. The macro-economic environment in which we operate has changed since 2020 when the current policy was introduced and continues to be challenging, with persistent inflation and an elevated interest rate environment having a negative impact on both valuations and liquidity in the global real estate market during 2023. We are subject to more onerous regulatory limits on rental increases. The macro-economic challenges have continued to impact the share price, despite strong operating performance and the business is trading at a discount to NAV. There has been significant change to the I-RES business model and with potentially significant changes to come through the Strategic Review. The key change is that since 2020, I-RES has transitioned to internalised management and we now have a fully integrated business enabling us to provide enhanced operational capability across our professionally managed portfolio of high-quality residential units with enhanced responsibilities for executive management. In January this year, reflecting the continued weakness in the share price, we announced that a Strategic Review will be conducted by the Board which will comprise of a comprehensive consideration of all strategic options to maximise value. Options to be assessed will include but not be limited to, new strategic initiatives, consolidation, combinations, mergers or other corporate action, a review of the Company’s status as a listed REIT, the sale of the entire issued share capital of the Company and selling the Company’s assets and returning value to shareholders. The challenge for the Committee has therefore been to structure remuneration arrangements which incentivise executives to deliver against KPIs aligned to the current business model and strategy, against a backdrop of potential change in the future and a wide range of options which may transpire. We have therefore sought to capture the successful delivery of a comprehensive Strategic Review in 2024 and if, as a result of this, the Policy no longer incentivises the future strategy of I-RES, we will of course consult on further changes and ask Shareholders to review this policy with this context in mind. Key Changes in the 2024 Remuneration Policy Following the Committee’s review, and taking into account feedback from shareholders, we have determined that it is appropriate to retain the current overall incentive framework of an annual bonus and performance based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) to ensure management are incentivised to deliver short and long-term performance and are fairly rewarded in line with the shareholder experience. A critical part of our review has been to carefully consider the performance metrics for the annual bonus and LTIP awards, to ensure that they are well aligned to our financial KPIs and our key strategic pillars; Operational Excellence, Asset Management Strategy, Capital Management and Sustainability. As a result of that review and taking on board shareholder feedback, we have decided to significantly broaden the scope of the incentive framework to include, for 2024, five separate metrics for the annual bonus and four separate metrics for the LTIP each of which rewards a specific but complementary outcome. Further details of these performance metrics are summarised below and set out on page 146 of this Report along with how these link to our strategy. We are not proposing any changes to the incentive opportunities for 2024. The CEO will continue to be eligible for a maximum annual bonus award of 150% of salary and an LTIP award of 135% of salary. The CFO will continue to be eligible for a maximum annual bonus award of 125% of salary and an LTIP award of 100% of salary. Our overall annual bonus policy maximum will remain unchanged at 150% of salary. The annual LTIP policy maximum is currently 135% of salary. Given the new Remuneration Policy is intended to apply for a four- year period, to ensure that we have appropriate flexibility we propose to increase the annual LTIP Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

122 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 policy maximum to 150% of salary which is more aligned with typical market practice for a company of our size. However, we commit not to implement an increased LTIP award maximum for the Executive Directors in 2024 or in 2025. Furthermore, we would intend to consult with major shareholders should we consider increasing the LTIP award maximum for the Executive Directors in the future. Under the new Remuneration Policy, pension provision for the current Executive Directors will be reduced over the next three years such that it is aligned with the pension contributions available to the majority of the workforce by 1 January 2027. In practice, this will only impact our current CFO, Mr Fagan. Our current CEO, Ms Sweeney, will step down as CEO and retire from the Board on 30 April 2024. Our new CEO, Eddie Byrne, will receive pension provision at the same level as the majority of the workforce, currently 3% of base salary. 2024 LTIP Rules The rules of the Irish Residential Properties REIT Long Term Incentive Plan 2014 (the “2014 Rules”) are due to expire in April 2024 and therefore shareholder approval is required for the renewal of the LTIP rules at the AGM in May 2024. The LTIP rules will operate on broadly similar terms to the 2014 Rules and will reflect common market practice for similar types of plans. We use the LTIP, not just to grant awards to our Executive Directors, but to the wider LTIP eligible workforce as well. Shareholder approval for the renewal of the LTIP rules will therefore be critical to enable us to continue to grant awards to incentivise management to deliver the strategy and create value for shareholders. Remuneration Outcomes for 2023 The 2023 annual bonus outcome was subject to a combination of EPRA earnings (35%), net rental income (NRI) (35%) and strategic objectives (30%). These metrics, in line with those used in 2022, were combined to ensure there was a balance between a continued focus on improving profit and rental income growth, while focusing on key non-financial deliverables which underpin our strategy, as well as core ESG priorities. Based on the outcome of the financial and strategic metrics, the CEO and CFO would have earned a bonus equal to 87.6% and 85.1% of maximum bonus opportunity respectively. However, in recognition of the fact that Adjusted EPRA Earnings declined by 22% in 2023, in principal due to increased financing costs associated with the ECB interest rate increases, the Committee, in agreement with the Executive Directors, exercised its discretion not to make a pay-out on the Adjusted EPRA Earnings element (which accounted for 35% of the annual bonus). The CEO and CFO therefore earned a bonus equal to 52.6% and 50.1% of maximum bonus opportunity respectively, equivalent to 78.9% of salary for the CEO and 62.6% of salary for the CFO. See page 135 for details. The LTIP awards granted in 2021 did not vest and so have lapsed in full as EPS performance was below threshold and relative TSR performance was below median to the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Europe Developed Index. See page 139 for details. Our Executive Directors and Senior Leadership Team have continued to deliver across all key financial, operational and strategic metrics and navigate the business successfully through the uncertainty and challenges of the Irish Real Estate environment. However, the Committee also recognises that shareholders have been impacted by the Company’s absolute share price performance during the year. Therefore, on balance and following the exercise of Committee discretion to reduce the outcome of the EPRA Earnings metric under the annual bonus from 100% to 0%, the Committee considers the outcome of the annual bonus and LTIP awards for 2023 to be appropriate. Board Changes CEO Ms Sweeney will step down as CEO and retire from the Board on 30 April 2024 following an orderly transition to her successor. The treatment of Ms Sweeney’s remuneration arrangements are set out on page 145. Eddie Byrne has been appointed as CEO Designate, with effect from 8 April 2024. Mr Byrne will succeed Margaret Sweeney as CEO and Executive Director of the Board with effect from 1 May 2024. The Committee has agreed the following remuneration arrangements for Mr Byrne: ↘ A base salary of €475,000. This is 13.6% less compared to Ms Sweeney’s base salary and is positioned towards the lower end of market when compared with European real estate peers and ISEQ companies of a similar market capitalisation. The current positioning of the base salary reflects that this is Mr Byrne’s first listed CEO role, but the Committee will look to keep this salary positioning under review as Mr Byrne gains experience in the role and may award larger than workforce base salary increases in the future. The positioning of the base salary also takes into account the Group’s focus on cost control, consistent with the decision made in relation to the fee for the new Chair. ↘ Pension provision is in line with the pension contributions available to the majority of the workforce, currently equal to 3% of salary. ↘ A maximum annual bonus opportunity equal to 150% of salary (in line with Ms Sweeney’s annual bonus opportunity). The 2024 annual bonus will be pro-rated for time served during the year. ↘ A maximum LTIP opportunity equal to 135% of salary (in line with Ms Sweeney’s LTIP opportunity). ↘ Benefits - An annual taxable cash allowance towards e.g. car and health cover of €25,000. ↘ Mr Byrne’s service contract is terminable either by the CEO or the Company providing six months’ prior written notice.

123 Chair of the I-RES Board Mr Scott-Barrett succeeded Mr Moylan as Chair of the I-RES Board effective from the publication of the Company’s 2023 results on 23 February 2024. His annual fee was set at €175,000. This is 12.5% less compared to Mr Moylan’s fee and is positioned between the lower quartile and median compared with European real estate peers and ISEQ companies of a similar market capitalisation. The reduction in fee primarily reflects the Group’s focus on cost control. Remuneration in 2024 Salary Ms Sweeney’s base salary for 2024 is €550,000, which is in line with her 2023 base salary. Mr Byrne was appointed on a base salary of €475,000. As disclosed in our 2022 Directors’ Remuneration Report, the Committee reviewed Mr Fagan’s base salary in 2022 following an expansion in his CFO role and responsibilities and to provide closer alignment with market practice for similar sized companies. The Committee agreed to increase his base salary from €330,000 to €380,000 on a phased basis over a two-year period. His base salary was increased to €355,000 with effect from 1 January 2023, with the further increase to €380,000 to take effect from 1 January 2024 subject to his performance and Group performance. The Committee considered that the implementation of the second phase of the CFO’s base salary increase to €380,000 was appropriate taking into account Mr Fagan and the Company performance and this will take place with effect from 1 January 2024 in line with disclosures set out in the 2022 Remuneration Report. For reference, the average salary increases for the workforce effective from 1 January 2024 was 4% of salary. Pension Under the new Remuneration Policy, pension provision for the current Executive Directors will be reduced over the next three years such that it is aligned with the pension contributions available to the majority of the workforce by 1 January 2027. Given Ms Sweeney’s retirement as CEO in 2024, her pension contribution was retained at 10.9% of salary. As part of the glide path to align the CFO pension to the majority of the workforce by 1 January 2027, his pension for 2024 will be reduced by €9,500 from €49,500 (equivalent to 13.9% of base salary) to €40,000 (equivalent to 10.5% of base salary). Pension provision for Mr Byrne will be aligned with the pension contributions available to the majority of the workforce, which is currently 3% of base salary. Annual bonus The 2024 bonus opportunity for the CEO (outgoing and incoming) and CFO is equal to 150% of salary and 125% of salary respectively. Ms Sweeney’s annual bonus will be pro-rated based on her period in employment for the 2024 financial year as will Mr Byrne’s. After extensive consideration as part of the Remuneration Policy review process, the 2024 annual bonus is subject to a combination of EPRA earnings (25%), net rental income margin (20%), Loan to value (10%), Net Asset Value (15%) and strategic objectives (30%). The strategic objectives to include the Strategic Review and other non-financial metrics. In our review of the Remuneration Policy and the 2024 metrics for the Annual Bonus and LTIP, the Committee specifically considered the Strategic Review and how to incentivise the executives appropriately to both keep a focus on the delivery of the current business and to ensure that the Strategic Review and any agreed actions are completed in as robust, thorough and timely a fashion as possible. In that regard the Committee decided that it was appropriate that, for 2024, up to 20% of the 30% of the Annual Bonus that is allocated to strategic matters should be specifically dedicated to the timely completion of the Strategic Review and appropriate progress in respect of implementation of the recommendations of that Review in-line with the Board agreed timetable. In addition, the Committee are of the view that the reintroduction of the NAV metric and the introduction of the TAR metric in the LTIP will align with the objective of maximising shareholder value. Performance targets are considered to be commercially sensitive and will be fully disclosed in the 2024 Remuneration Report. LTIP Subject to shareholder approval of the 2024 LTIP Rules, Mr Byrne and Mr Fagan will be granted LTIP awards with a maximum opportunity equal to 135% of salary and 100% of salary respectively. It is intended that the LTIP awards are subject to EPS (30%), relative TSR (30%), Total Accounting Return (30%) and ESG (carbon reduction) (10%) performance measures. The performance targets for 2024 are set out on page 147 of this Report. Full details of the grants for 2024 will be disclosed at the time of grant and in the 2024 Remuneration Report. Conclusion We remain committed to a responsible approach to executive remuneration, as I trust this Remuneration Committee Report demonstrates. The Committee considers that the remuneration received by the Executive Directors in respect of 2023 was appropriate, taking into account the Group’s performance, the Executive Directors’ personal performance and the experience of shareholders and employees. We look forward to your support for the remuneration- related resolutions on the agenda of the 2024 AGM.

126 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 REMUNERATION POLICY The following section sets out the Company’s Remuneration Policy for Executive and Non- Executive Directors (the “Policy”). The Policy will be put forth for shareholder approval on an advisory basis at the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting and, if approved, will be effective from this date. It is intended that the Policy will remain in place until the 2028 annual general meeting. In preparing the new policy, the Committee has had to take into consideration a number of factors including feedback from an extensive consultation with shareholders, but above all we have sought to balance incentivising the delivery of the existing agile business model and strategy, aligned with prevailing macroeconomic conditions ensuring that we can continue to deliver sustainable growth and performance, whilst also undertaking a Strategic Review. The macro-economic environment in which we operate has changed since 2020 when the current policy was introduced and continues to be challenging, with persistent inflation and an elevated interest rate environment having a negative impact on both valuations and liquidity in the global real estate market. We are subject to more onerous regulatory limits on rental increases. The macro-economic challenges have continued to impact the share price, despite strong operating performances and the business is trading at a discount to NAV. The Committee’s preparation of the next Remuneration Policy has also been undertaken against the backdrop of significant change to the I-RES business model and also with potentially substantial changes to come through the Strategic Review. The key change is that since 2020, I-RES has transitioned to internalised management and we now have a fully integrated business enabling us to provide enhanced operational capability across our professionally managed portfolio of high-quality residential units with enhanced responsibilities for executive management. In January this year, reflecting the continued weakness in the share price, we also announced that a Strategic Review will be conducted by the Board which will comprise of a comprehensive consideration of all strategic options to maximise value. Options to be assessed will include but not be limited to, new strategic initiatives, consolidation, combinations, mergers or other corporate action, a review of the Company’s status as a listed REIT, the sale of the entire issued share capital of the Company and selling the Company’s assets and returning value to shareholders. The challenge for the Committee has therefore been to structure a new policy which aligns to the current strategy, against a backdrop of potential change in the future and a wide range of options which may transpire. We have therefore sought to capture the successful delivery of a comprehensive Strategic Review in 2024 and if, as a result of this, the Policy no longer incentivises the future strategy of I-RES, we will of course consult on further changes and ask Shareholders to review this policy with this context in mind.

127 The key changes to the Policy are set out in the Remuneration Committee Chair’s letter. In developing the Policy, the Committee has been mindful of the factors set out in the UK Code Provision 40: Alignment to strategy and culture: Executive remuneration includes a balanced mix of basic salary and short and long term incentives, aligned to the Company’s strategy and key performance indicators. Please see page 32 of this Annual Report for more information on the Company’s strategy and key performance indicators. The Company’s core values are reflected in the remuneration arrangements. Clarity and Simplicity: The remuneration structure is simple to understand for both participants and shareholders and is aligned to the strategic priorities of the business. Risk: The Policy includes a number of points to mitigate potential risk: ↘ Defined limits on the maximum opportunity levels under incentive plans ↘ Provisions to allow malus and clawback to be applied where appropriate ↘ Performance targets calibrated at appropriately stretching but sustainable levels ↘ Bonus deferral, LTIP holding periods, within-employment and post-employment shareholding requirements ensuring alignment of interests between Executive Directors and shareholders and encouraging sustainable performance Predictability: We aim for our disclosure to be clear to enable shareholders to understand the range of potential values which may be earned under the remuneration arrangements. Proportionality: A significant part of Executive Directors’ reward is linked to performance with a clear line of sight between business performance and the delivery of shareholder value.

128 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Policy table for Executive Directors Element Operation Opportunity Performance Metrics Basic Salary To provide a fixed level of compensation reflecting the individual’s skills and experience The Committee will consider the salary level from time to time (typically annually) during the policy period, having regard to the levels of increase across the workforce, the size and scope of the role and the business, market data for similar roles and individual development. No maximum level. Salary increases (in percentage of salary terms) will normally be considered in relation to those applied to the workforce. The Committee retains discretion to award higher increases in certain circumstances including, but not limited to: significant changes in the size and scope of the role; a material change in the size and scale of the business; a material change in market practice; an Executive Director’s development or performance in role (e.g. to align a new appointment’s salary with the market over time); and/or to take account of relevant market movements. Not applicable Benefits To provide benefits which are competitive with market practice Benefits include, but are not limited to: an annual taxable cash allowance towards car and health cover Relocation expenses may be offered (on a one-off or on-going basis) in certain circumstances. No maximum level. Not applicable Pension To provide appropriate post- retirement benefits Fixed contributions into an approved Company defined contribution executive pension scheme or an equivalent cash supplement (or combination of both). For the incoming CEO the maximum pension contribution will be aligned with the contribution available to the majority of the workforce (currently 3% of base salary). For the CFO the pension contribution for 2024 will be €40,000. This will be reduced over time to align with the pension contribution available to the majority of the workforce by 1 January 2027. For any new Executive Director appointment, the maximum pension contribution or cash supplement (or combination of both) will be aligned with the contribution available to the majority of the workforce. Not applicable

129 Element Operation Opportunity Performance Metrics Annual Bonus To support the delivery of the Company’s business strategy and KPIs and reward annually for contribution to financial and non- financial performance Annual bonus based on stretching performance metrics set by the Committee usually at the start of each year. 80% of any amount earned is normally paid in cash with the remainder delivered in the form of shares which are held in trust for the Executive Director for three years, and are subject to disposal restrictions. Dividends will be paid as they arise. Malus and clawback provisions apply (see table on page 130). The Committee has the discretion to override formulaic outcomes in circumstances where it judges it would be appropriate to do so and, in such circumstances, the basis for the exercise of any such discretion will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report. The cash portion of the bonus may be payable (in whole or in part) as an employer pension contribution if agreed between the individual and the Committee. Maximum opportunity of up to 150% of basic salary in respect of a financial year. For the achievement of target performance, 50% of the maximum opportunity would normally be expected to be payable. The Committee will determine the performance metrics, their weightings and the calibration of targets each year and will disclose these in the Remuneration Report. 2024 performance metrics are set out on page 146. Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) To align the interests of the Executive Directors with those of shareholders and reward the delivery of long term sustainable performance and the creation of shareholder value Annual awards of performance shares, normally subject to three year performance metrics. Awards will normally be subject to a two year post- vesting holding period. Dividend equivalents may accrue (as a cash amount or additional shares) on performance shares. Malus and clawback provisions apply (see table on page 130). The Committee has the discretion to override formulaic outcomes in circumstances where it judges it would be appropriate to do so and in such circumstances, the basis for the exercise of any such discretion will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report. Maximum opportunity of up to 150% of basic salary in respect of a financial year. The Committee will determine the performance metrics, their weightings and the calibration of targets each year and will disclose these in the Remuneration Report. Performance metrics for the 2024 awards are set out on page 147. Shareholding Requirement To further align the interests of the Executive Directors with those of shareholders and encourage sustainable performance Within-employment: Executive Directors are expected to build and maintain a shareholding interest in the Company equivalent to at least 200% of basic salary. Post-employment: Executive Directors who step down from the Board are normally expected to retain a shareholding in ‘guideline shares’ equal to 200% of basic salary (or their actual shareholding on stepping down if lower) for a period of two years after stepping down from the Board. ‘Guideline shares’ do not include shares that the Executive Director has purchased or shares that have been acquired pursuant to the vesting of share plan awards granted prior to 1 January 2020. The Committee retains discretion to waive this post- employment guideline if it is not considered to be appropriate in the specific circumstances.

130 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Notes to the Policy table Malus and clawback Malus and clawback provisions apply to annual bonus, deferred bonus and LTIP awards over the following time periods: Malus Clawback Annual bonus To such time as payment is made. Up to two years following payment. Deferred bonus awards Not applicable Up to three years following award LTIP awards To such time as the award vests. Up to two years following vesting. Malus and clawback may apply in the following circumstances: ↘ A material misstatement of the Company’s financial results. ↘ An error in the information in which the bonus outcome or the number of shares granted or vesting under deferred bonus awards or LTIP awards was determined. ↘ Action or conduct of a participant which amounts to gross negligence, serious misconduct or fraud. ↘ Action or conduct of a participant which results in serious reputational damage to the Company. ↘ A material corporate failure. Choice of performance metrics The performance metrics for the annual bonus and LTIP reflect the Company’s annual and long term financial, strategic and ESG priorities, and are aligned broadly with performance metrics used by real estate sector peers. A proportion of the LTIP is subject to total shareholder return performance relative to the residential real estate sector. This helps support an incentive framework whereby Executive Directors may be rewarded for outperforming peers and delivering shareholder value in a cyclical market. Targets are set taking into account a number of reference points, including the Company’s internal forecasts and the external market. Details of the performance metrics for the 2024 annual bonus and LTIP awards are set out on pages 146 and 147. Discretions retained by the Committee in operating the annual bonus and LTIP The Committee will operate the annual bonus (including the deferred share element) and the LTIP according to their respective rules. The Committee retains certain discretions, consistent with market practice, relating to the operation and administration of these plans, including: ↘ The ability to adjust or set different performance metrics or targets if events occur (such as a change in strategy, a material acquisition and/ or divestment of a Group business or a change in prevailing market conditions) which cause the Committee to determine that the performance metrics and/or targets are no longer appropriate and the amendment is required so that they achieve their original purpose and are not materially less difficult to satisfy. ↘ The ability to make adjustments to existing awards in the event of a variation in share capital or a demerger, delisting, special dividend or other exceptional event that may affect the Company’s share price. Any use of the above discretions would, where relevant, be explained in the Remuneration Report. Service contracts and compensation for loss of office The incoming CEO’s service contract is terminable either by the CEO or the Company providing six months’ prior written notice. The CFO’s service contract is terminable either by the CFO or the Company providing 6 months’ prior written notice. The Executive Directors are entitled to be paid their full remuneration (net of any social welfare benefits) during any periods of inability to work due to illness or accident, not exceeding in aggregate six weeks in any consecutive 12-month period.

131 The principles on which the determination of compensation for loss of office will be approached are set out below. Element Policy Payment in lieu of notice Limited to salary and benefits over the unexpired notice period, subject to mitigation. Annual bonus Discretionary payment based on the circumstances of the termination and after assessing performance metrics and normally only for the service period worked. The committee has discretion to pay the whole of any bonus earned for the year of departure and/or preceding year in cash in appropriate circumstances. Restricted shares remain in trust for 3 years post grant. LTIP award The extent to which any unvested award will vest will be determined in accordance with the LTIP rules. Unvested awards will normally lapse on cessation of employment. However, if the Executive Director leaves as a good leaver (death, ill-health, injury or disability, the sale of the business or company that employs the individual or for any other reason at the Committee’s discretion), their unvested awards will vest on the normal vesting date. In exceptional circumstances, the Committee may determine that that the Executive Director’s award will vest early at the date of cessation of employment. To the extent that the award vests, a two year holding period would then normally apply (although the Committee may determine that no holding period will apply in exceptional circumstances). Vesting will depend on the extent to which the performance metrics have been satisfied and will normally be subject to a pro-rata reduction to reflect the proportion of the performance period served (although the Committee has discretion to disapply time pro-rating if the circumstances warrant it). Change of control LTIP awards will normally vest on a change of control, taking account of the degree to which performance metrics have been satisfied and the proportion of the performance period that has elapsed. The Committee may exercise its discretion to vary the level of vesting having regard to the circumstances and reasons for the events giving rise to the change of control or determine that it would be appropriate for the LTIP awards to be exchanged for equivalent awards in the purchaser’s shares where such an award would be substantially equivalent, in value and in terms and conditions, to the award in the Company. Other payments In appropriate circumstances, payments may also be made in respect of items such as accrued holiday, outplacement and legal fees. The Committee reserves the right to make payments by way of settlement of any claim arising in connection with the cessation of employment.

132 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Policy for Recruitment of New Executive Directors The Committee will determine the remuneration arrangements in respect of any newly appointed Executive Director in line with the policy table. The Committee also has discretion to include other remuneration elements which it considers appropriate taking into account the specific circumstances of the recruitment, subject to the principles set out below. Element Policy Basic salary Salary levels will be determined taking into account the experience of the individual, the size and scope of the role and business, and comparative market data for similar roles. Where it is appropriate to initially position the salary below the market rate, progressive increases (which may be above those of the workforce as a percentage of salary) to achieve the desired salary positioning may be given over the following few years subject to individual performance and continued development in the role. Buy-out awards If for an external appointment it is necessary to buy out incentive arrangements which would be forfeited on leaving the previous employer, this will be done taking into account the form (e.g. cash or shares), vesting period and any performance metrics applicable to the remuneration being forfeited. Variable remuneration The maximum level of variable remuneration which may be awarded to new Executive Directors, excluding the value of any buy-out arrangements, will normally be in line with the limits set out in the policy table. The Committee may apply different performance metrics and/or performance periods for initial awards made following appointment under the annual bonus and/or LTIP, if it determines that the circumstances of the recruitment merit such alteration. If an Executive Director is appointed at a time in the year when it would be inappropriate to provide an annual bonus or LTIP award for that year, subject to the limits on variable remuneration set out in the policy table, the quantum in respect of the period employed during the year may be transferred to the subsequent year. Other elements of remuneration Other elements may be included in the following circumstances: ↘ An interim appointment being made to fill an Executive Director role on a short term basis. ↘ If exceptional circumstances require that the Chairman or Non-Executive Director takes on an executive role on a short term basis. ↘ Relocation benefits may be provided if an Executive Director is required to relocate. If an internal appointment is made, remuneration arrangements awarded prior to promotion to Executive Director level will continue to run in line with the schedule and conditions determined at time of grant.

133 Non-Executive Director Fees The remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors is determined by the Board as a whole. No Director may be involved in any decisions in respect of his or her own remuneration. Levels of remuneration for Non-Executive Directors reflect the time commitment and responsibilities of the role. The fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are therefore set at a level which aims to attract individuals with the necessary experience and ability to make a significant contribution to the Company and to compensate them appropriately for their role. Levels of fees may be reviewed from time to time during the policy period, having regard to any significant changes in the size and scope of the role and the business, and material changes in comparative market data for similar roles. Non-Executive Directors may be eligible to receive benefits linked to their duties. This includes, but is not limited to, travel costs. The Chairman and Non-Executive Directors are engaged under letters of appointment. Details are provided on page 167 in the Directors’ Report. Considerations of conditions and pay levels for workforce and workforce engagement on executive pay During 2022 the number of employees in the Company increased from 13 to 95 following the acquisition of IRES Fund Management Limited (IFML). That number has remained stable in 2023. The Committee was mindful of the remuneration arrangements, including fixed and variable pay structures, in place for the workforce when determining the Policy. The Committee will continue to regularly review the remuneration of the workforce to ensure it is attuned to general pay and conditions when considering remuneration for Executive Directors (for example, the Committee will consider salary increases for the workforce when determining salary increases for the Executive Directors). While the Committee currently does not consult directly with employees when setting remuneration for Executive Directors, it does take into account the remuneration structures, policies and practices in the Group as a whole, the feedback from employee engagement activities and the information provided by our external advisors. In addition, matters relating to remuneration which come to the attention of Mr. Tom Kavanagh, in his capacity as the Workforce Engagement Director, are reported to the Committee. The Group has a number of different channels for engagement and the Committee will consider how it can engage more effectively with the wider workforce to explain broader pay policies and practices and the alignment to the Executive Directors’ Remuneration Policy. Potential derogation from the Policy The Committee intends that remuneration arrangements will operate in accordance with the Policy until an amended remuneration policy is put to shareholders for approval. The European Union (Shareholders’ Rights) Regulations 2020 allow for the potential for a temporary derogation from the Policy where doing so is necessary in exceptional circumstances, to serve the long term interests and sustainability of the traded PLC as a whole or to assure its viability. By definition, it is not possible to fully list all such exceptional circumstances, but the Committee would only use such ability to apply a derogation after careful consideration and where the Committee considers the circumstances were exceptional and the consequences for the Company and shareholders of not doing so would be significantly detrimental. Where time allowed, shareholders would be consulted prior to applying such a change, or, at minimum where this was not possible, the full details of the derogation would be communicated as soon as practical (e.g., by market announcement/on the Company’s website) and disclosed in detail in the next Remuneration Report. Legacy arrangements The Committee retains discretion to make any remuneration payment and/or payment for loss of office, to exercise any discretion available in relation to such payment, notwithstanding that it is not in line with this Policy where the terms of the payment were agreed: ↘ Before the date that the Company’s first shareholder approved remuneration policy came into effect. ↘ Before this Policy came into effect (provided that the terms of the payment were consistent with the shareholder approved remuneration policy in effect at the time the terms were agreed). ↘ At a time when the relevant individual was not a director of the Company and, in the opinion of the Committee, the payment was not in consideration of the individual becoming a director of the Company.

134 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 ANNUAL REMUNERATION REPORT FOR 2023 This report will be submitted as an advisory vote to shareholders at the 2024 AGM. The report complies with the European Union (Shareholder’s Rights) Regulations 2020. Total Remuneration received for 2023 All elements of the remuneration received by the Directors for 2023 were consistent with the Directors’ Remuneration Policy as approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM. During the financial year ended 31 December 2023: ↘ There were no deviations from the procedure for implementing the Remuneration Policy. ↘ There were no derogations from the Remuneration Policy. ↘ No use was made of the possibility to reclaim variable remuneration using the malus and clawback mechanisms described in the remuneration policy. The Remuneration Committee report for 2022 was the subject of an advisory shareholder vote at the AGM in 2023. The resolution received the support of 36.1% of those shareholders who voted. As set out on page 120, the Chair of the Remuneration Committee has consulted widely with shareholders in respect of this vote and the Remuneration Committee took into account all of the feedback received in the formulation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy. Base Salary for 2023 The actual base salaries paid to the Executive Directors for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 are set out in the table below. As reported in the Remuneration Committee report for 2022 Ms Sweeney’s base salary was increased to €550,000 (15.8% increase) and Mr Fagan’s base salary was increased to €355,000 (7.6% increase) with effect from 1 January 2023. Benefits for 2023 Ms Sweeney and Mr Fagan received an annual taxable cash allowance of €25,000 and €13,500 respectively towards car and health cover. Total Remuneration of Executive Directors in 2023 The table below sets forth the total remuneration received by each Executive Director in respect of 2023 (and a comparison to 2022) 1 . Fixed Remuneration Variable Remuneration Executive Directors Year Basic Salary (€’000) Fees (€’000) Benefits (€’000) Pension (€’000) Annual Bonus (€’000) Deferred Bonus (€’000) Long-Term Incentive (€’000) (2) Total Remuneration (€’000) Proportion of fixed and variable Margaret Sweeney 2023 550 - 25 60 347 87 - 1,069 59%/41% 2022 475 - 25 60 348 87 - 995 56%/44% Brian Fagan (3) 2023 355 - 14 49 (4) 178 44 - 640 65%/35% 2022 240 - 10 32 (4) 120 30 - 432 65%/35% (1) The table includes all emoluments paid to or receivable by Directors in respect of qualifying services during the review period. No compensation for loss of office, payments for breach of contract or other termination payments were paid to any current or former Director in the period under review. (2) For more information on options and LTIP awards granted to the Directors, please refer to the section titled “Long-term Incentives”. (3) Brian Fagan joined the Board 11 April 2022. The table includes all emoluments paid or receivable by Brian Fagan from 11 April 2022. (4) Paid directly to Brian Fagan in lieu of pension contributions.

135 Pension for 2023 Ms Sweeney participates in a defined contribution pension arrangement and Mr Fagan receives a cash allowance in lieu of pension contributions. As reported in the 2022 Remuneration Committee Report, the level of pension contribution for Ms Sweeney was frozen at 15% of her 2021 base salary (€60,000) and the level of cash allowance for Mr Fagan was frozen at 15% of his 2022 base salary (€49,500). For 2023, pension provision represented 10.9% and 13.9% of Ms Sweeny’s and Mr Fagan’s base salaries respectively. Annual bonus for 2023 The CEO’s and CFO’s annual bonus maximum opportunity level for 2023 was 150% and 125% of basic salary respectively. A bonus deferral arrangement is in place such that 20% of any bonus paid is deferred into Company shares for a period of three years to promote sustainable performance and provide additional alignment of the CEO and CFO with shareholder interests. For 2023, 70% of annual bonus for each of the CEO and CFO was determined by financial performance metrics and 30% was based on specific and measurable strategic objectives. The weightings, targets and performance against each are summarised in the tables below: 2023 Financial Metrics for CEO and CFO Measure Weighting (% of Maximum Bonus) Threshold Performance (25% of Maximum Payout) (2) Target Performance (50% of Maximum Payout) (3) Stretch Performance (100% of Maximum Payout) (4) Performance Achieved Amount Earned by CEO/CFO (% of Max Weighting) Adjusted EPRA Earnings (1) 35 €24.34 million €25.62 million €26.26 million €28.52 million 0% Net Rental Income 35 €63.24 million €66.57 million €68.24 million €67.91 million 90.3% (1) EPRA Earnings have been adjusted for non-recurring costs during the year. See further detail on non-recurring costs on page 23 (2) Threshold Performance is based on achieving 95% of Target perfrmance (3) Target Performance is based on achievement of the 2023 Board Approved Budget (4) Stretch Performance is based on achieving 102.5% of Target Performance Based on performance against the EPRA Earnings and Net Rental Income targets, 66.6% of the maximum 70% of the financial element would be payable. However, in recognition of the fact that Adjusted EPRA Earnings declined by 22% in 2023, in principle due to increased financing costs associated with the ECB interest rate increases, and the Committee, in agreement with the Executive Directors, exercised its discretion not to make a pay-out on the Adjusted EPRA Earnings element. Therefore, the outcome was reduced to 31.6% of the maximum 70% of the financial element. Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

139 The Remuneration Committee assessed performance against each of the specific and measurable strategic objectives. The Committee determined that: ↘ for the CEO 21% of the maximum 30% of the strategic element would be payable ↘ for the CFO 18.5% of the maximum 30% of this strategic element would be payable Having carried out a thorough review and taking account of the Committee discretion applied to reduce the amount payable for the EPRA Earnings metric from 100% to 0%, the Committee was satisfied that the 2023 annual bonus outcomes were aligned with overall Company and individual performance as well as stakeholder experience during the performance period. Total Bonus and Bonus Deferral for 2023 The total bonus achieved by the CEO in respect of 2023 was 78.9% of base salary (52.6% of the maximum bonus opportunity of 150% of base salary). In line with this, on 21 February 2024, the Remuneration Committee awarded the CEO a performance-related bonus of €433,864. €347,091.20 (representing 80%) was paid in cash. €86,772.80 (representing 20%), was settled as a restricted entitlement, to the beneficial interest in ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The total bonus achieved by the CFO in respect of 2023 was 62.6% of base salary (50.1% of the maximum bonus opportunity of 125% of base salary). In line with this, on 21 February 2024, the Remuneration Committee awarded the CFO a performance-related bonus of €222,272.53. €177,818.03 (representing 80%) was paid in cash. €44,454.50 (representing 20%), was settled as a restricted entitlement, to the beneficial interest in ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. LTIP Awards Vesting On 5 March 2021, the Remuneration Committee awarded the CEO a conditional award over 335,820 shares under the terms of the LTIP (equivalent to 135% of basic salary). The award was subject to EPS and relative TSR performance measures over a three-year performance period which ended on 31 December 2023. As set out in the table below, the threshold performance targets were not achieved, and so the awards did not vest and therefore lapsed in full on 5 March 2024.

140 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 LTIP Awards Granted During 2023 As noted in the 2022 Remuneration Report, on 15 March 2023, the Remuneration Committee awarded the CEO and the CFO each a conditional award over 750,000 and 358,586 shares respectively, under the terms of the LTIP (equivalent to 135% and 100% of basic salary respectively). The vesting of the 2023 award is subject to the achievement of the performance conditions set out in the table below. In the event of vesting at the end of the three-year performance period, awards will be held for a further period of at least two years. Performance level Vesting level Adjusted EPS portion (50% weighting) Percentage growth in EPS: 2025 compared to base year of 2022* TSR portion (50% weighting) TSR relative to constituents of the residential subsector of the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Europe Developed Index Below Threshold 0% Below 2% p.a.

The Committee is satisfied that the adjusted EPS performance range set for the 2023 LTIP awards was stretching relative to internal modelling and external forecasts, particularly given the increasing interest rate environment and the continued regulatory pressure facing the business and sector through rental caps. While the Committee acknowledges that the share price for the 2023 award was well below the share price for the 2022 award, as with each award, the Committee will conduct a rigorous evaluation of vesting levels against the shareholder and stakeholder experience at the conclusion of the performance period. This includes consideration of whether there has been any windfall gains over the vesting period. Where the Committee considers that a windfall gain has arisen then they may reduce the award at vesting. Going forward, the Committee has agreed that for any future LTIP award the Committee will carry out an evaluation of the award levels both at the time of award and at the time of vesting in relation to the share price.

141 Non-Executive Director Fees in 2023 Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) have letters of appointment which set out their duties and responsibilities.

142 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Comparative information on the change of remuneration and company performance The table below compares the year-on-year change in total remuneration of each of the Directors over the past five years with company performance over the same period. On 31 December 2020 the Company had 3 employees and on 31 December 2021 the Company had 11 employees (one of whom sat on the Board). On December 2022 and 2023, the Company had 95 employees. Comparable year-on-year change in average remuneration for the workforce therefore cannot be provided for the full previous 5 years.

Therefore the 2022 disclosure is for part of the year only. (2) Declan Moylan’s annual fee for his role as the Chairman was increased effective 1 July 2021 which resulted in a 21% increase from 2020 to 2021. (3) Aidan O’Hogan’s increase of 20% in 2021 was due to the Board’s decision to remunerate the role of Senior Independent Director. (4) Hugh Scott-Barrett was appointed to the Board on 29 September 2022. Therefore the disclosure in 2022 is for part of a year only. (5) As of 1 July 2021, the annual fee for all Non-Executive Director roles was increased to €65,000. (6) Stefanie Frensch was appointed to the Board on 1 July 2021. The increase of 97% in 2022 was due to Ms Frensch being part of the Board for a full year. (7) Tom Kavanagh was appointed to the Board 1 June 2018. The increase of 72% in 2019 was due to Mr Kavangh being part of the Board for a full year. (8) Tom Kavanagh was appointed Chair of the Sustainability Committee on 11 May 2021. (9) Aidan O’Hogan retired from the Board on 4 May 2023. (10) Joan Garahy was appointed SID on 4 May 2023 after Aidan O’Higan’s retirement from the Board. (11) Denise Turner joined the Board on 4 May 2023. (12) Stefanie Frensch became Chair of Sutainability Committee from 4 May 2023. (13) On 31 January 2021, the Company had 11 employees (one of whom was the CEO). On 31 January 2022, the Company acquired I-RES Fund Management Limited. As a result, on 31 December 2022 the Company had 95 employees. The comparative figure for 2022 therefore is not of a like for like workforce.

145 IMPLEMENTATION OF REMUNERATION POLICY IN 2024 CEO and CFO Remuneration in 2024 Basic salary Ms Sweeney’s base salary for 2024 is €550,000, which is in line with her 2023 base salary. Mr Byrne was appointed on a base salary of €475,000. As disclosed in our 2022 Directors’ Remuneration Report, the Committee reviewed Mr Fagan’s base salary in 2022 following an expansion in his CFO role and responsibilities and to provide closer alignment with market practice for similar sized companies. The Committee agreed to increase his base salary from €330,000 to €380,000 on a phased basis over a two-year period. His base salary was increased to €355,000 with effect from 1 January 2023, with the further increase to €380,000 to take effect from 1 January 2024 subject to his performance and Group performance. The Committee considered that the implementation of the second phase of the CFO’s base salary increase to €380,000 was appropriate taking into account Mr Fagan and the Company performance in 2023. In particular, the Committee noted the successful delivery of the Capital recycling of c.€100 million of disposals for the purposes of debt paydown and profits available for distribution and the risk mitigation measures implemented throughout the year to offset the increasing interest rate environment including the negotiation of revised Interest Cover Ratio covenants with the Company’s RCF Banks and Private placement investors. Accordingly, Mr Fagan’s base salary was increased to €380,000 with effect from 1 January 2024. Executive Director changes – retirement arrangements for Ms Sweeney Ms Sweeney will step down as CEO and retire from the Board on 30 April 2024 following an orderly transition to her successor. The treatment of Ms Sweeney’s remuneration arrangements is set out in the table below. There are no special arrangements in relation to Ms Sweeney’s retirement. This has been agreed by the Committee, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, taking into account her significant contribution to the Group over the last six and a half years and her commitment to ensure a successful transition of the CEO role. Element Agreed Treatment Base salary, benefits and pension Will continue to receive her salary, benefits and pension until she steps down as CEO and retires from the Board. Annual bonus Will be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 150% of salary for the year ended 31 December 2024 pro-rated for time served as CEO during the year. Any bonus earned will be paid at the usual time in 2025, following the assessment of the performance metrics. Deferred bonus shares Remain in trust for 3 years post grant LTIP awards Will not be granted an LTIP award in 2024. Unvested LTIP awards will: ↘ continue to vest in accordance with their normal vesting timetable, subject to the achievement of the relevant performance metrics; and ↘ be pro-rated for time served as CEO during the relevant performance periods. Any shares that vest will be subject to a two-year post- vesting holding period. Options 12 months ‘exercise or lapse’ period for vested options Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

146 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Annual Bonus The 2024 bonus opportunity for the CEO and CFO is equal to 150% of salary and 125% of salary respectively. Ms Sweeney’s annual bonus will be pro-rated based on her period in employment for the 2024 financial year and Mr Byrne’s annual bonus will be pro-rated based on his start date. In each case, 20% of any bonus payment will be deferred for three years into shares in line with the Remuneration Policy. As a result of the review carried out by the Remuneration Committee during 2023 and taking on board shareholder feedback, the Committee has decided to significantly broaden the scope of the incentive framework to include five separate metrics for the annual bonus. The table below sets out the performance metrics and weightings, together with the rationale for the metrics. Due to matters of commercial sensitivity it would not be in the interests of the Company to disclose the precise operational targets for the annual bonus at the date of production of this report. Full details of targets and performance against each will be set out on a retrospective basis in the 2024 Remuneration Report.

147 Long Term Incentives Subject to shareholder approval of the 2024 Remuneration Policy and LTIP Rules, Mr Byrne and Mr Fagan will be granted LTIP awards with a maximum opportunity equal to 135% of salary and 100% of salary respectively. As a result of the review carried out by the Remuneration Committee during 2023 and taking on board shareholder feedback, the Committee has decided to broaden the scope of the long term incentive framework and intends to include four separate metrics for 2024. The Committee is intending to include an ESG metric recognising the growing importance of ESG and also Total Accounting Return which recognises the importance of the NAV and the dividend to shareholders. The table below sets out the proposed performance metrics and weightings, together with rationale for the metrics. Strategic Focus Area Objective/Selection Rationale Measure/ KPIs linked to strategic focus area Weighting Operational Excellence Incentivise management to deliver growth in bottom line for shareholders over the longer-term EPS 30% Operational Excellence Incentivise management to deliver growth in NAV and deliver a sustained dividend over the longer-term Total Accounting Return 30% Asset Management Strategy Operational Excellence Aligned with shareholder value creation Incentivise management to outperform peers over the longer-term Total Shareholder Return 30% Asset Management Strategy Capital Management Sustainability Incentivise management to deliver carbon reduction targets in line with the Sustainability Strategy Carbon emissions reduction 10% (1) EPS is based on normalised EPRA earnings which is calculated by excluding from EPRA earnings the effects of certain non-recurring and exceptional items.

The Committee has taken on board shareholder feedback and has decided to strengthen its practice such that, for the 2024 LTIP award and any future LTIP award, the Committee will also carry out an evaluation of the award levels at the time of award in the context of guarding against potential windfall gains. The Committee notes that the Company’s share price is similar to its share price at the time the 2023 LTIP awards were granted and therefore, at this time, does not consider a reduction in the 2024 LTIP award level necessary to guard against potential windfall gains. Executives’ external appointments The Executive Directors are permitted to take on external appointments with other publicly listed companies with the prior approval of the Board. The Board recognises that there are benefits to both the Company and the Executive Directors, for the Executive Directors to serve as a Non-Executive Board member of other companies. The Executive Directors are permitted to retain any payments received in respect of such appointments. Margaret Sweeney served as a Non-Executive Director of Dalata Hotel Group plc until 27 April 2023. Ms Sweeney retired as a Director on 27 April 2023. She received a fee in 2023 of €29,000 in relation to this role. On 21 September 2023, it was announced that Margaret Sweeney was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director to the Board of Bank of Ireland Group plc and the Court of Directors of The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland with effect from 1 October 2023, for which she received a fee of €20,000 in 2023. External Services The Remuneration Committee has engaged remuneration consultants, Deloitte LLP, who have no other relationship with the Group or any individual Director, to provide advice in relation to executive remuneration and the remuneration report. Deloitte is a founder member of the Remuneration Consultants Group and as such voluntarily operates under its Code of Conduct in relation to executive remuneration. Deloitte’s fees for advice during 2023 were €98,000.

150 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 The Nomination Committee plays a fundamental role in ensuring we select and recommend strong candidates for appointment to the Board. The Committee monitors and evaluates the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge on the Board and its Committees, so that they can effectively discharge their responsibilities, with any changes recommended to the Board for its review and decision. The Committee is also responsible for succession planning and also has a role in monitoring talent development at senior management level. In 2023, we welcomed Denise Turner to the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. On appointment to the Board she joined this Committee as well as the Audit and Remuneration Committees. We are delighted that Ms. Turner has joined the Board as she brings with her a wealth of experience that has further enhanced the knowledge and skills of the Board as a whole. Given the Board refreshment which had taken place in the 12 months up to May 2023 the Nomination Committee took the opportunity to review the composition of each of the Board Committees in order to ensure that the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, diversity and independence was brought to each Committee. As a result of that review several Committee changes were implemented. Ms. Joan Garahy took up the role of Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee on the retirement of Aidan O’Hogan. Ms Garahy stepped down as Chair and as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Tom Kavanagh took up the role of Chair of the Audit Committee and stepped down from his role as Chair of the Sustainability Committee while remaining on that committee. Mr Kavanagh also stepped down from the Remuneration Committee. Ms. Stefanie Frensch has taken up the role of Chair of the Sustainability Committee, while Mr Phillip Burns became a member of the Sustainability Committee having stepped down as a member of the Nomination Committee. Mr Hugh Scott-Barrett became a member of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee on 4 May 2023. As previously announced by the Company, I will not seek re-election to the Board at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2024. As a result, in the second half of 2023, a Chair Succession Committee, led by Joan Garahy as Senior Independent Director and including Denise Turner and Tom Kavanagh was appointed to run a process to identify and make a recommendation to the Board on a new Independent Non-Executive Chair to replace me on my retirement in 2024. REPORT OF THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE Dear Shareholder, I am pleased to present the Report of the Nomination Committee for the year ended 31 December 2023 which details the main activities undertaken by the Committee during the year.

151 Korn Ferry were appointed to assist with that recruitment process. Korn Ferry have no connection with the Company, or any individual Director. On 31 October 2023 the Board announced that Ms Margaret Sweeney had notified the Board of her intention to retire from her role as CEO and Executive Director in April 2024 having served as CEO for the past six years. As a result, the Nomination Committee led by myself as Chair also ran a process to identify and make a recommendation to the Board on a new CEO and Board Director to replace Ms Margaret Sweeney on her retirement in 2024. After a tender process Korn Ferry were appointed to assist with that recruitment process also. The Committee were strongly of the view that the interaction between the Chair and CEO roles was such that it was important that the same Board members and the same external provider was involved in both appointment processes. Board Evaluation The Board Evaluation process assesses and reports on the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and the Directors, both individually and collectively. This year the Board carried out an externally facilitated Board evaluation with the assistance of Independent Audit Limited. Further details of the outcome of this evaluation can be found in this report on page 155. Looking ahead I am grateful to shareholders for understanding the desirability of balancing continuity in stewardship and avoiding changing both the Chair and the Senior Independent Director at the same time in 2023. I stated in the 2022 Annual Report and at the 2023 AGM, that I would be stepping down as Chair at the latest at the AGM in 2024. After a rigorous succession process, involving both internal and external candidates, on 11 January 2024, the Board announced its decision to appoint Hugh Scott-Barrett to succeed me, as Chair of the I-RES Board, with effect from the publication of the Company’s 2023 results on 23 February 2024. In making this appointment, the Board took into account Hugh’s extensive board and governance experience and his deep understanding of the international listed real estate sector. On taking up his appointment as Chair on 23 February 2024 Hugh stepped down from the Audit Committee and joined the Nomination Committee in order to participate in the appointment of the new CEO. On 13 March 2024, the Board announced the appointment of Eddie Byrne as CEO Designate, with effect from 8 April 2024. Mr Byrne will succeed Margaret Sweeney as CEO and Executive Director of the Board with effect from 1 May 2024. Eddie Byrne’s appointment also follows an extensive and rigorous selection process, led by the Nomination Committee. This is my final report as Chair of I-RES. I leave the Board in good hands with an experienced Chair and a skilled and diverse membership with appropriate, highly experienced individuals and local market knowledge. The Board has been significantly refreshed. By the time of the 2024 AGM, more than 50% of the Directors will have a tenure of less than 3 years, and the Committee Chairs and the Senior Independent Director role will all have been rotated within the previous 12 months. I have throughly enjoyed my time on the I-RES Board and I look forward to engaging with our Shareholders for one last time at the 2024 AGM.

154 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Board Appointment Process The Nomination Committee leads the process for considering appointments to the Board and its committees. The Committee identifies and nominates for the approval of the Board, candidates to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise, following a formal, rigorous and transparent procedure. Before any appointment is made by the Board, the Nomination Committee evaluates the balance of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity on the Board including the requirements of the Board’s Diversity policy and, in the light of this evaluation, prepares a description of the role and capabilities required for a particular appointment and the time commitment expected. In identifying suitable candidates, the Nomination Committee either advertises directly or uses the services of external advisers to facilitate the search. As part of the search process the Committee considers candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and provides the external advisers with details of I-RES’ Board Diversity Policy to be taken in to account as part of their search process. Each candidate is considered on merit and against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board and taking care that appointees have enough time available to devote to the position. Suitable candidates are interviewed by specified members of the Nomination Committee and the results of the interviews are reviewed by the Nomination Committee. The candidate(s) selected by the Nomination Committee are recommended to the Board for approval. Prior to the appointment of a Director, all other directorships, appointments, significant commitments and interests of the relevant candidate are required to be disclosed to the Board. On appointment to the Board, the Nomination Committee ensures that Non-Executive Directors receive a formal letter of appointment setting out clearly what is expected of them in terms of time commitment, committee service and involvement outside Board meetings. In addition, all new Directors participate in the Company’s induction process. Succession planning The Nomination Committee assesses the aggregate skills and experience of the Directors in light of the current and future needs of the Board and its Committees, both on a routine basis and in particular when considering renewal of contracts and potential new appointments. Chair Appointment On 11 January 2024, the Board announced its decision to appoint Hugh Scott-Barrett to succeed me, as Chair of the I-RES Board, with effect from the publication of the Company’s 2023 results on 23 February 2024. In advance of Hugh’s appointment, the Chair Succession Committee, led by Senior Independent Director, Joan Garahy, prepared a position description with input from all Board members and engaged Korn Ferry, an international executive search firm, to carry out an extensive search process for suitable candidates as Chair of the Board. In making their decision to recommend Hugh’s appointment, the Committee considered and interviewed several candidates both internal and external proposed by Korn Ferry. The Committee reviewed the background, ethnicity, knowledge, skills and experience of each candidate against the position description previously approved by the Committee and also carried out extensive due diligence including a detailed consideration of other time commitments, and any matters that would likely create any actual or perceived conflict of interest. On completion of this suitability assessment the Nomination Committee recommended Hugh’s appointment as Chair to the Board. Having previously supported the Company in respect of Board appointments, Korn Ferry had an understanding of the skills and experience of existing Directors and were well placed to support the Board in ensuring due consideration was given to the impact of Hugh’s appointment as Chair of the Board. CEO Appointment On 31 October 2023 Margaret Sweeney announced her intention to retire as CEO and Executive Director of the Company with effect from 30 April 2024. Having agreed with Ms Sweeney that she would remain in the Company for longer than her 6 months’ notice if required to enable a smooth transition to a new CEO, the Nomination Committee prepared a position description for the CEO role with input from all Non-Executive Board members and engaged Korn Ferry, to carry out an extensive search process for suitable candidates. The Committee decided that having the same executive search firm engaged on both the Chair and CEO roles was preferable given the need for the successful candidates in both roles to have complimentary skillsets and experience. In making their decision to recommend the appointment of Eddie Byrne, the Committee considered and interviewed several candidates proposed by Korn Ferry. The Committee reviewed the background, ethnicity, knowledge, skills and experience of each candidate against the position description previously approved by the Committee and also carried out extensive due diligence.

155 On completion of this suitability assessment, the Nomination Committee recommended to the Board the appointment of Eddie Byrne as CEO. Board Committees Given the recent and upcoming changes to the Board composition, the Nomination Committee will carry out a further review of the composition of the Board Committees in 2024 and will make recommendations to the Board in this regard. Mr. Scott-Barrett joined the Nomination Committee in order to assist in the process for the appointment of the new CEO and the transition. Together they agreed a process to ensure that the full Board were involved at each stage of the process. Board Evaluation Independent Audit (IA) were appointed to undertake such a review of the Board and its Committees in July 2023. IA have no other connection with the Company. They undertook a comprehensive review covering all aspects of Board and Committee effectiveness. They attended Board and Committee meetings in person to observe the Board, reviewed board information for the previous six months and held one-to-one discussions with all of the Directors and the external auditors, as well as using their online evaluation tool Thinking Board. IA reported to the Board on their findings in December 2023. All directors had an opportunity to discuss the findings, ask the reviewers questions and consider the direction of future board development. The external review concluded that the Board was performing well in the fundamental areas of its responsibility and that there was scope to adjust how it was addressing certain matters in view of external pressures. The following areas were identified as key focus points for the Board in the current circumstances: ↘ The process for the appointment of the new Chair ↘ The new CEO appointment and board oversight of the transition ↘ Oversight of strategy ↘ Rebalancing oversight between operations and strategy and aligning agendas and planning to ensure focus on priority matters ↘ Stakeholder management and communication In response, the Board has agreed upon actions to address those of the findings it deems to be most urgent and important in the circumstances, and has already started to address a number of areas highlighted by IA for further development: ↘ The Board concluded the Chair appointment process and announced the appointment of Hugh Scott-Barrett to take over as Chair from 23 February 2024; ↘ A deep dive session was held in December 2023 on the current Strategy with a view to ensuring alignment and setting solid foundations for the Strategic Review announced by the Board on 8 January 2024; ↘ Mr. Scott-Barrett joined the Nomination Committee in order to assist in the process for the appointment of the new CEO and the transition. Together they agreed a process to ensure that the full Board were involved at each stage of the process. Diversity and Inclusion The Board and the Nomination Committee recognise the importance of and are committed to supporting diversity and inclusion in the boardroom where Directors believe that their views are heard, their concerns are addressed and they serve in an environment where no bias, discrimination or harassment is tolerated on any matter. The Board and the Nomination Committee understand that a diverse Board will offer different perspectives in order to provide effective oversight of the Company’s business and guide the Company towards its strategic aims. Diversity also improves the quality of decision-making by the Board by reducing the risk of group-think and supports the development of a diverse pipeline of candidates to serve on the Board. I-RES’ Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy requires the Board to consider a broad range of characteristics when considering diversity including, but not limited to: ↘ Age, gender, social and ethnic background; ↘ Educational and professional background, possession of technical skills in the Company’s field of operations, including “soft” and cognitive skills necessary to be an effective Director; ↘ Personal strengths such as strength of character, experience, knowledge and understanding; and ↘ Expertise in relevant environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. The Nomination Committee in the context of its Board evaluation processes, regularly reviews the structure, size and composition of the Board, taking diversity and the considerations noted above in particular into account, in order to maintain an appropriate range and balance of skills, diversity experience and background on the Board. The Nomination Committee also considers diversity in the context of Board appointments and succession planning. Each of these processes take account of and address Supplementary Information 248 Financial Statements 174 Strategic Report 8 Governance

156 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 the Board’s diversity at that time and consider needs for enhancement of diversity on the Board. In implementing the Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy during 2023, the Nomination Committee considered diversity in evaluating the optimum composition of the Board and in evaluating the effectiveness of the Board. All Board appointments are based on a transparent selection process using objective criteria, including consideration of diversity (including gender and ethnicity), necessary experience, characteristics, skillsets and other attributes necessary to ensure effective oversight of the Company’s business and to guide the Company towards its strategic objectives. During 2023, in engaging Korn Ferry to support all succession processes, the Committee shared the Board’s Diversity and Inclusion policy and included diversity considerations (both gender and ethnicity) in the role specifications for each role. As at 31 December 2023 the Company continued to meet Board gender diversity best practice in Ireland with 44% female Board representation, which includes the Company’s CEO, the Senior Independent Director/Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Chair of the Sustainability Committee. The fact that each of these senior roles are occupied by women demonstrates the Board’s commitment to ensuring appropriate gender diversity on the Board. The Nomination Committee reviewed the Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy in detail in 2023 and considered whether it was appropriate to set measurable objectives in relation to ethnic diversity on the Board as well as the female representation targets already set. Given the fact that I-RES is an Irish company with all of its operations in Ireland, the significant progress that the Company is making with regard to diversity and inclusion at a grass roots level (see page 155 of the Sustainability Committee Report for further details of Diversity, Equity, inclusion and belonging in I-RES) and the demographics in Ireland which differ significantly from the UK, the Board and the Nomination Committee concluded that setting measurable objectives was only appropriate in relation to gender representation on the Board at this time. The Committee noted that in each of its recent Director recruitment campaigns ethnic diversity and the requirements of the Board Diversity Policy have been specifically brought to the attention of the external advisers and in some instances candidates from ethnically diverse backgrounds had been presented for consideration. However, to date, none of these candidates had been selected as the most appropriate candidates for the role. The Nomination Committee will continue to consider annually whether additional measurable objectives such as quantitative targets and timeframes for achieving ethnic diversity are appropriate and, if thought fit, will recommend such measurable objectives to the Board for adoption. The Board is committed to having an appropriate balance of skills and perspectives, including gender balance on the Board. GENDER REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD as at 31 December 2023 67% Women (44%) Men (56%) With respect to gender quotas, consistent with the targets set by the Balance for Better Business Review Group, the Board had set the following targets for female representation on the Board: By end of 2021 27% By end of 2022 30% By end of 2023 33% The Board have surpassed its target for 2023 with 44% female representation on the Board as at 31 December 2023. The Nomination Committee will keep these targets under review in light of recent and upcoming changes to the Board.

157 The Committee continues to monitor and review reports and recommendations relating to the composition of the Board and diversity, including the Parker Review on ethnic diversity. At 31 December 2023, our female employees made up 44% of our total workforce, while 40% of the Senior Leadership Team was female. In 2024, I-RES is committed to keeping its silver and working towards its gold ‘Investors in Diversity’ accreditation, from the Irish Centre for Diversity, reflecting our commitment to diversity and inclusion at every level of the organisation. As a public-facing service organisation, respect and fairness are at the heart of what we do, and we have in place a range of supports for our staff to ensure we treat colleagues and residents in the most inclusive way. For further information on our employee diversity actions see page 155 of the Sustainability Committee Report and our 2023 ESG Report available at www.i-res.ie. In 2024, Board composition and size together with diversity (both gender and ethnicity) will be focus areas for the Committee.

158 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 In 2023 steady progress was made on our overarching strategy, despite wider macroeconomic challenges within our operating environment, the Board Sustainability Committee continued its work to embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across our operations, while ensuring the continued prosperity of our core business. Our vision remains steadfast – to be the preferred provider in the Irish rental sector, recognised for exceptional service, responsible operations, minimal environmental impact, and a positive contribution to our residents and local communities. We are dedicated to sustainable and responsible business practices, taking a proactive, long-term approach to investments in the Irish rental market. Our commitment to ESG is underpinned by a robust strategy focused on three core pillars, ‘Protecting the Environment’, ‘Building Communities’ and ‘Operating Responsibly’. This approach allows us to identify and address key ESG issues, establish clear and measurable targets, and monitor progress towards our ESG goals. Sustainability holds a central focus for the senior management team at I-RES. The Chief Executive and the broader management ESG Steering Group are responsible for implementing our ESG strategy, overseen by the Board of Directors, and supported by the Sustainability Committee. This Committee develops and recommends our ESG strategy to the Board, providing direction on building in-house skills to deliver against targets. Acknowledging the expectations of our diverse stakeholders, including employees, funding partners, residents, suppliers and regulators, it is essential to devise sustainability-oriented solutions. As investors increasingly prioritise ESG criteria, we recognise the need for transparent and reliable information that enables stakeholders to understand and track our sustainability contributions throughout our operations. Progress in 2023 In 2023, we strengthened our governance model to support our transition to Net Zero Carbon by 2050. This involved revising key policies and processes, including our ESG policy and supply chain policies, to explicitly address climate related impacts and promote responsible resourcing. We continued our work measuring and monitoring the environmental impacts of our buildings by gathering data on the energy used, this is ongoing as we gather readings over four quarters to get a clear picture of the energy usage for each individual unit in order REPORT OF THE SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE Dear Shareholder, It is my pleasure to present my first Report as Chair of the Sustainability Committee, for the year ended 31 December 2023.

159 to set reduction targets and drive improvement programmes and activities to support responsible consumption. Over the last year we have focussed on the areas which are most material to our sector, our residents and our business. We refined our ESG Strategy, undertaking a comprehensive assessment of our ESG risks, as well as developing our net zero pathway. In 2022, we refreshed our materiality assessment and in 2023, we continued to embed these pillars into the business, of operating responsibly; protecting the environment; and building communities both for our employees and for our customers. For example, through initiatives from the Green Ambassadors programme including information sessions with residents around reducing energy used and waste disposal and community days where residents could learn about biodiversity and understanding how climate change impacts natural habitats. Further details of these initiatives can be found in our ESG Report. We are a transparent organisation and actively engage with ESG rating agencies and benchmarks, submitting to frameworks like the CDP (for the second consecutive year). We obtained a score of C for our first scored assessment and hope to advance our score in future assessments. In 2023, we achieved several significant milestones in our disclosures, retaining the EPRA Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (sBPR) Gold Award and elevating our GRESB rating to 2 Stars. We are proud to share that our dedication to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our progress towards the Investors in Diversity Gold Award from the Irish Centre for Diversity: our workforce is 44 percent female and comprises a diverse range of nationalities and cross- sectoral skills and expertise. During 2023, we implemented our carbon reduction plans and reduced our Scope 1 emissions by 59 percent and our Scope 2 emissions by 0.3 percent. Being the provider of choice for the Irish rental market means mitigating the environmental impact of our operations, through a long-term, fact-based view of key ESG issues particularly in the current macroeconomic environment. Our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has continued, including SDG15 – Life on Land, focusing on Protecting the Environment. Building on our achievements in previous years, which included zero waste to landfill and active participation in the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, we engaged with residents directly on recycling improvements and increased the coverage of biodiversity friendly spaces. Our objective is to establish nature-positive spaces, promoting eco- friendly living for residents, and advancing the circular economy. In the past year, our commitment to employee engagement has yielded outstanding results, evidenced by an impressive 90 percent of employees saying they enjoy their job and feel engaged in the work that they do in our 2023 Employee Survey. Emphasising continuous learning, we observed a rise in average training hours year-on-year, showcasing our dedication to skill development, particularly in cybersecurity and resident engagement. We were delighted to retain the prestigious Silver Investors in Diversity Award. This coupled with the establishment of our Diversity & Inclusion Committee marked a crucial milestone and underscores our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace. We are proud to have won a number of awards this year which included winning the Institute of Designers prestigious category for ‘Multi-Residential Design and Architecture’ at our Tara View development, reflecting the highest standards of comfort and sustainability available to our residents. Our focus on ESG is underpinned by an ambitious strategy, together with innovation and planned digitalisation of our ESG database. We continue to define our focus areas and establish clear, meaningful, and quantifiable targets, against which we will monitor progress towards our ESG goals which are set out in detail in our ESG report. We are pleased with our progress over the last year and saw this progress recognised in the improvement of our scores across different rating agencies. The high scores achieved by I-RES across a range of E, S and G performance indicators, further reassures us that we are on the track towards achieving our strategy. This recognition is an important part of I-RES’ ESG journey and we look forward to continued progress in 2024. Finally, for more information on our achievements in 2023 and our plans for 2024, please refer to our ESG Report which can be accessed electronically at www.i-res.ie. I trust that you will find this report to be useful in understanding the operations and activities of the Sustainability Committee during the year.

164 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Principal Activity The Company is an Irish real estate company, focused on the private residential rental property market on the Island of Ireland. The Company owns interests primarily in residential rental accommodations and ancillary and/or strategically located commercial properties located in and near major urban centres in Ireland, in particular Dublin. The Company purchased its first real estate assets on 10 September 2013 and is now one of the largest private residential landlords in Ireland. The Company’s net assets and operating results are derived from real estate located in Ireland. Review of Activities, Business Performance Measures, and Events since the Year-End The Chairman’s Statement, the Chief Executive’s Statement, the Financial Review and the Business Strategy contain a review of the development and performance of the business during the year, the state of affairs of the business at 31 December 2023, recent events and likely future developments. Information in respect of events since the year end as required by the Companies Act, 2014 is included in these sections and in note 31 of the Group financial statements. The Corporate Governance Report, the Report of the Audit Committee, the Report of the Remuneration Committee, the Report of the Nomination Committee, the Report of the Sustainability Committee, the Financial Review and the Business Strategy are deemed to be included in this Report of the Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, 2014. This Report, the documents referred to therein, which include a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company, the Chief Executive’s Statement, the Financial Review, the Business Performance Measures, the Business Strategy and the Risk Report are deemed to be the management report as required by the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (the “Transparency Regulations”). Revenue for the financial period amounted to €87.9 million (€84.9 million for the 2022 year). The loss for the year attributable to Shareholders amounted to €114.5 million (loss of €11.8 million for the 2022 year) which was driven by a €141.8 million fair value revaluation adjustment (2022: €45.6 million fair value revaluation adjustment). REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS The Directors of the Company present their report and the audited financial statements for the financial period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

165 EPRA Earnings per Share were 5.2 cents (5.8 cents for the 2022 year), and IFRS NAV per share was 131.7 cents (160.0 cents as at 31 December 2022). Further details of the results for the year are set out in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on page 184. REIT Status I-RES elected for REIT status on 31 March 2014 under section 705 E of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997. As a result, the Company does not pay Irish corporation tax on the profits and gains from qualifying rental business in Ireland from that date, provided it meets certain conditions. The primary requirements to maintaining REIT status relates to LTV and distributions to Shareholders. As an Irish REIT, I-RES is required to distribute to its Shareholders (by way of dividend), on or before the filing date for its tax return for the accounting period in question, at least 85% of the Property Income of the Property Rental Business arising in each accounting period (provided it has sufficient distributable reserves). In addition, under the Irish REIT legislation, I-RES is required to maintain an LTV of below 50%. If I-RES were to fail in meeting these conditions in a period and, within a reasonable timeframe as determined by Irish Revenue Commissioner, failed to secure that the condition was subsequently met, then the Revenue Commissioner could treat I-RES as no longer qualifying as a REIT. The implication of such would be that the REIT could be deemed to have ceased to be a REIT or Group REIT at the end of the accounting period immediately prior to the accounting period in which the failure to meet the condition was present and Irish corporation tax would be due on the profits and gains from qualifying rental business in Ireland from that period. The Directors confirm that the Group complied with all the above REIT requirements for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. Dividends Under the Irish REIT Regime, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves, the Company is required to distribute to Shareholders at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting period. Each year it is the Board’s intention to propose semi-annual dividends payable in March and September. Accordingly, in 2023, the Board paid dividends of approximately €28.5 million for the 2022 accounting period and approximately €12.9 million in respect of the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023. On 23 February 2024, the Directors announced an additional dividend of €10.6 million (dividends per share of 2.0 cents) for the year ended 31 December 2023, to be paid on 28 March 2023 to Shareholders on record as of 8 March 2023. This dividend was made up of a Property Income Distribution (“PID”), as defined in the Irish REIT Legislation. Therefore, the total dividend paid in respect of the 2023 accounting period was 4.45 cent per share (5.11 for the 2022 year). Share Capital The authorised share capital of the Company is 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of €0.10 each, of which 529,578,946 shares were in issue at 31 December 2023. All of these shares are of the same class. They all carry equal voting rights and rank equally for dividends. No shares in the Company were acquired or redeemed by the Company during the financial period ended 31 December 2023 or made subject to charge or lien. There are no securities holding special rights with regard to control of the Company. Particulars of the authorised and issued share capital of the Company as at 31 December 2023 are set out in note 14 of the Group financial statements.

176 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Report on the audit of the financial statements Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (‘the Company’) and its consolidated undertakings (‘the Group’) for the year ended December 31, 2023 set out on pages 183 to 247, contained within the reporting package 635400EOPACLULRENY18-2023-12-31-en.zip, which comprise the Consolidated and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Equity and related notes, including the material accounting policies set out in note 2. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group financial statements is Irish Law, including the Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/815 regarding the single electronic reporting format (ESEF) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and, as regards the Company financial statements, Irish Law and FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework issued in the United Kingdom by the Financial Reporting Council. In our opinion: » the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Group and Company as at December 31, 2023 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended; » the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; » the Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework issued by the UK’s Financial Reporting Council; and » the Group and Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014 and, as regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (ISAs (Ireland)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion. Our audit opinion is consistent with our report to the audit committee. We were appointed as auditor by the directors on 17 July 2018. The period of total uninterrupted engagement is the 6 years ended December 31, 2023. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and we remained independent of the Group in accordance with, ethical requirements applicable in Ireland, including the Ethical Standard issued by the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (IAASA) as applied to public interest entities. No non-audit services prohibited by that standard were provided. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included: » Using our knowledge of the Group, its industry, and the general economic environment to identify the inherent risks to its business model and analysing how those risks might affect the Group’s and Company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. The risks that we considered were most likely to adversely affect the Group’s and Company’s available financial resources over this period were the impact of a significant decrease in occupancy levels and decline in rental collection allied to increase in inflation and interest rates potentially impacting on asset values during the going concern period. » Considering whether these risks could plausibly affect the availability of financial resources in the going concern period by comparing severe, but plausible, downside scenarios that could arise from these risks individually and collectively against the level of available financial resources indicated by the Group’s and Company’s financial forecasts. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT to the Members of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc

177 Supplementary Information 248 Governance 92 Strategic Report 8 Financial Statements Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group or the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. In relation to the Group and the Company’s reporting on how they have applied the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Irish Corporate Governance Annex, we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. Detecting irregularities including fraud We identified the areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements and risks of material misstatement due to fraud, using our understanding of the entity’s industry, regulatory environment and other external factors and inquiry with the directors. In addition, our risk assessment procedures included: » Inquiring with the directors and other management as to the Group’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations, identifying, evaluating and accounting for litigation and claims, as well as whether they have knowledge of non-compliance or instances of litigation or claims. » Inquiring of directors, the audit committee and internal audit as to the Group’s policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. » Inquiring of directors, the audit committee and internal audit regarding their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated due to irregularities, including fraud. » Inspecting the Group’s regulatory and legal correspondence. » Reading Board and subcommittee minutes. » Considering remuneration incentive schemes and performance targets including the EPRA Earnings and Net Rental Income target for management remuneration. » Performing planning analytical procedures to identify any usual or unexpected relationships. We discussed identified laws and regulations, fraud risk factors and the need to remain alert among the audit team. Firstly, the Group is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including companies and financial reporting legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items, including assessing the financial statement disclosures and agreeing them to supporting documentation when necessary. Secondly, the Group is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non- compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, anti- bribery, employment law, environmental law, and certain aspects of company legislation recognising the financial and regulated nature of the Group’s activities and its legal form. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these non-direct laws and regulations to inquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These limited procedures did not identify actual or suspected non-compliance. We assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. As required by auditing standards, we performed procedures to address the risk of management override of controls. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT to the Members of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc

178 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 In response to the fraud risks, we also performed procedures including: » Identifying journal entries and other adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. » Evaluating the business purpose of significant unusual transactions. » Assessing significant accounting estimates for bias. » Assessing the disclosures in the financial statements. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non- compliance and cannot be expected to detect non- compliance with all laws and regulations. Key audit matters: our assessment of risks of material misstatement Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by us, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In arriving at our audit opinion above, the key audit matter was as follows (unchanged from 2022): Group and Company key audit matter Valuation of Investment Property: Consolidated €1,274 million (2022 - €1,499 million) Company €1,130 million (2022: €1,317 million) Refer to pages 188 to 190 (accounting policy) and pages 198 to 201 (financial disclosures) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT to the Members of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc

179 Supplementary Information 248 Governance 92 Strategic Report 8 Financial Statements The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Groups’ investment property portfolio (including properties under development and development land) comprises a portfolio of mainly residential property assets, 99% of which are located in Dublin. The Group’s investment property portfolio is valued at €1,274 million (Company: €1,130 million) at 31 December 2023 and represents 98% of the Group’s total assets and 88% of the Company’s total assets. The valuation of the Group’s and Company’s investment property portfolio is inherently subjective, as it requires, amongst other factors, consideration of the specific characteristics of each property, the location and nature of each property, consideration of prevailing property market conditions and in respect of income generating properties, estimation of future rentals beyond the current lease terms. In respect of development land, further factors include market comparables. The Directors engage external valuers to value the Group’s and Company’s investment property portfolio in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (‘RICS’) Valuation – Professional Standards. The valuation experts used by the Group have considerable experience of the markets in which the Group operates. In determining the valuation of the Group’s investment properties, the valuers take into account the above considerations and rely on the accuracy of the underlying lease and related information provided to the valuers by the Group. We regard this area as a key audit matter due to the significance of the estimates and judgements involved in the valuation of the Group’s and Company’s investment property portfolio. For the reasons outlined above the engagement team determine this matter to be a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included ,among others,the following: » We evaluated the design and implementation of the key control within the investment property valuation process. » We performed testing over the accuracy and completeness of lease information provided by the Group to the external valuers for income generating properties. » We inspected the valuation reports and confirmed that the valuation approach was in accordance with RICS standards and suitable for the purposes of the Group’s financial statements. » We assessed the external valuers’ qualifications and expertise and read their terms of engagement with the Group to determine whether there were any matters that might have affected their objectivity or may have imposed scope limitations upon their work. » We met with the external valuers to understand the valuation of the portfolio. These discussions included gaining an understanding of the external valuers’ process; the significant assumptions employed in estimating future rental incomes and future capital expenditure requirements for income generating properties; and the judgements in the selection of appropriate capitalisation rates for a sample of selected properties. » We considered the capitalisation rate assumptions for selected properties used by the valuers in performing their valuations and compared them to relevant market evidence, such as benchmarking against specific property sales and performing an internal comparison across the Group’s property portfolio. » We agreed the value of all investment properties included in the financial statements to the valuation reports prepared by the external valuers. » We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in relation to the valuation of investment properties and found them to be appropriate. » We compared the proceeds received from sales of investment property with the reported fair value, which provides an indicator of the accuracy and reliability of historic revaluations. We found no evidence to suggest that the objectivity of the valuers in their performance of the valuations was compromised. On the basis of the work performed, we found the significant assumptions used in the valuations to be appropriate. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT to the Members of Irish Residential Properties REIT plc

180 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit Materiality for the Group financial statements and Company financial statements as a whole was set at €7.0 million (2022: €8.5 million) and €6.8m (2022: €8.2 million) respectively, determined with reference to benchmarks of net assets (of which it represents 1% (2022: 1%) and 1% (2022: 1%)) respectively. In addition, we applied a lower materiality of €1.4 million (2022: €1.6 million) for testing profit or loss items excluding the net movement in fair value of investment properties. In our judgement, the application of this specific materiality is appropriate due to key performance indicators of the Group driven by profit or loss items. Performance materiality for the Group financial statements and Company financial statements as a whole was set at €5.2 million (2022: €6.3 million) and €5.1 million (2022:€6.2 million) respectively, determined with reference to benchmarks of net assets (of which it represents 75% (2022: 75%) and 75% (2022: 75%)) respectively. We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. In applying our judgement in determining performance materiality, we considered a number of factors including; the low number and value of misstatements detected and the low number and severity of deficiencies in control activities identified in the prior year financial statement audit. We consider net assets to be the most appropriate benchmark as this is what the readers of the financial statements place most importance upon. We reported to the Audit Committee any corrected or uncorrected identified misstatements exceeding €0.4 million (2022: €0.4 million), in addition to other identified misstatements that warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. In our judgement, the application of this specific materiality is appropriate due to key performance indicators of the Group driven by profit or loss items. We applied materiality to assist us determine what risks were significant risks and the procedures to be performed. Our audit was undertaken to the materiality and performance materiality level specified above and was all performed by a single engagement team in Dublin.

182 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Respective responsibilities and restrictions on use Responsibilities of directors for the financial statements As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 172, the Directors are responsible for: the preparation of the financial statements including being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on IAASA’s website at https://iaasa.ie/publications/ description-of-the-auditors-responsibilities-for-the- audit-of-the-financial-statements/.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 187 1. General Information Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“I-RES” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Ireland on 2 July 2013. On 16 April 2014, I-RES obtained admission of its ordinary shares to the primary listing segment of the Official List of Euronext Dublin and to trading on the main market for listed securities of Euronext Dublin. I-RES’ registered office is South Dock House, Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. The ordinary shares of I-RES are traded on the main market for listed securities of Euronext Dublin under the symbol “IRES”. The Group owns interests in residential rental accommodations, as well as commercial and development sites, the majority of which are located in and near major urban centres in Dublin, Ireland. 2. Material Accounting Policies a) Basis of preparation This financial information has been derived from the information used to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”), IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations and those parts of the Companies Act 2014 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial information for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the fair value of investment properties, derivative financial instruments at fair value and share options at grant date through the profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared on a going concern basis of accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been presented in Euro, which is the Company’s functional currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Group cover the 12-month period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The Group has not early adopted any forthcoming International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) standards. Note 2(t) sets out details of such upcoming standards. Going concern The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash and deposit balances. The Group’s plans indicate that it should have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The Group has a strong consolidated statement of financial position with sufficient liquidity and flexibility in place to manage through the potential headwinds in the current market. The Group can draw an additional €65 million from its RCF (as defined below in note 10) while maintaining a maximum 50% Loan to value ratio as at 31 December 2023, as required by REIT legislation. As at 31 December 2023, the undrawn RCF amount is €227 million. Post year end, I-RES has reduced the RCF facility size by €100m, resulting in an undrawn amount of €127 million. The Group generated positive cashflows from operations for the year ended 31 December 2023. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate that the Group adopts the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 188 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) a) Basis of preparation (continued) Changes in material accounting policies The Group adopted the disclosure of accounting policies (amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) from 1 January 2023. The amendments have not resulted in a change to the accounting policies themselves, they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in Note 2. The changes have resulted in the disclosure of material rather than significant account policies. b) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of I-RES and its subsidiaries, IRES Residential Properties Limited, IRES Fund Management Limited, IRES Residential Properties (Tara View) Limited and IRES Residential Properties (Orion) Limited. I-RES controls these subsidiaries by virtue of its 100% shareholding in the companies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by I-RES. I-RES controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial information of subsidiaries (except owners’ management companies) is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. I-RES does not consolidate owners’ management companies in which it holds majority voting rights. For further details, please refer to note 24. c) Investment properties and investment properties under development Investment properties The Group considers its income properties to be investment properties under IAS 40, Investment Property (“IAS 40”) and has chosen the fair value model to account for its investment properties in the consolidated financial statements. Under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investment properties are treated as acquired at the time when the Group assumes the significant risks and returns of ownership, which normally occurs when the conveyancing contract has been performed by both buyer and seller and the contract has been deemed to have become unconditional and completed. Investment properties are deemed to have been acquired when the buyer has assumed control of ownership and the contract has been completed. Investment properties comprise investment interests held in land and buildings (including integral equipment) held for the purpose of producing rental income, capital appreciation or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business. All investment properties are initially recorded at cost, which includes transaction and other acquisition costs, at their respective acquisition dates and are subsequently stated at fair value at each reporting date, with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period. Gains and losses (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) arising on the disposal of investment properties are also recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The fair value of investment properties is determined by qualified independent valuers at each reporting date, in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) Valuation Standards and IFRS 13. Each independent valuer holds a recognised relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. At each reporting date, management undertakes a review of its investment property valuations to assess the continuing validity of the underlying assumptions, such as future income streams and yields used in the independent valuation report, as well as property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation report and holds discussions with the independent valuer. Investment properties under development Investment properties under development include those properties, or components thereof, that will undergo activities that will take a substantial period of time to prepare the properties for their intended use as income properties.

Investment properties under development (continued) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 189 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) c) Investment properties and investment properties under development (continued) The cost of a development property that is an asset acquisition comprises the amount of cash, or the fair value of other consideration, paid to acquire the property, including transaction costs. Subsequent to the acquisition, the cost of a development property includes costs that are directly attributable to these assets, including development costs and borrowing costs. These costs are capitalised when the activities necessary to prepare an asset for development or redevelopment begin and continue until the date that construction is substantially complete and all necessary occupancy and related permits have been received, whether or not the space is leased. Borrowing costs are calculated using the Company’s weighted average cost of borrowing. Properties under development are valued at fair value by qualified independent valuers at each reporting date with fair value adjustments recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. In the case of investment property under development, the valuation approach applied is the “residual method”, with a deduction for the costs necessary to complete the development together with an allowance for the remaining risk. Development land Development land is also stated at fair value by qualified independent valuers at each reporting date with fair value adjustments recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. In the case of development land, the valuation approach applied is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets. Land values are estimated using either a per acre or per buildable square foot basis based on highest and best use. Such values are applied to the Group’s properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, highest and best use, zoning, servicing and configuration. Key estimations of inherent uncertainty in investment property valuations The fair values derived are based on anticipated market values for the properties, being the estimated amount that would be received from a sale of the assets in an orderly transaction between market participants. The valuation of the Group’s investment property portfolio is inherently subjective as it requires, among other factors, assumptions to be made regarding the ability of existing residents to meet their rental obligations over the entire life of their leases, the estimation of the expected rental income in the future, an assessment of a property’s ability to remain an attractive technical configuration to existing and prospective residents in a changing market and a judgement to be reached on the attractiveness of a building, its location and the surrounding environment. While these and other similar matters are market-standard considerations in determining the fair value of a property in accordance with the RICS methodology, they are all subjective assessments of future outturns and macroeconomic factors, which are outside of the Group’s control or influence and therefore may prove to be inaccurate long-term forecasts. As a result of all these factors, the ultimate valuation the Group places on its investment properties is subject to some uncertainty and may not turn out to be accurate, particularly in times of macroeconomic volatility. The RICS property valuation methodology is considered by the Board to be the valuation technique most suited to the measurement of the fair value of property investments. It is also the primary measurement of fair value that all major and reputable property market participants use when valuing a property investment. See note 5 for a detailed discussion of the significant assumptions, estimates and valuation methods used. d) Property asset acquisition At the time of acquisition of a property or a portfolio of investment properties, the Group evaluates whether the acquisition is a business combination or asset acquisition. The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) d) Property asset acquisition (continued) The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. When an acquisition does not represent a business as defined under IFRS 3, the Group classifies these properties, or portfolio of properties, as an asset acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an asset acquisition are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalised to the property. e) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and mainly comprise of the leased head office, head office fixtures and fittings and information technology hardware. These items are depreciated on a straight- line basis over their estimated useful lives; the right of use building has a useful life of 20 years and the fixtures and fittings have a useful life ranging from one to five years. f) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. The identifiable assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of acquisition is measured as the total amount of consideration transferred, measured at the acquisition date. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill is recognised when the aggregate of the consideration transferred and any non-controlling interest is greater than the fair value of the net identifiable assets at the acquisition date. If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, it is recognised as a bargain purchase and the difference is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other comprehensive income. g) IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) Financial assets and financial liabilities Under IFRS 9, financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently accounted for based on their classification as described below. Their classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired or issued, their characteristics and I-RES’ designation of such instruments. The standard requires that all financial assets and financial liabilities be classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities The Group derecognises a financial asset when: » the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or » it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either: » substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; or » the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its consolidated statement of financial position but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 190 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023

Interest earned or accrued on these financial assets is included in other income. Other receivables Such receivables arise when I-RES provides services to a third party, such as a resident, and are included in current assets, except for those with maturities more than 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and other receivables are included in other assets initially at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position and are subsequently accounted for at amortised cost. Other liabilities Such financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently accounted for at amortised cost and include all liabilities other than derivatives. Derivatives are at fair value through other comprehensive income. FVTPL Financial instruments in this category are recognised initially and subsequently at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are presented within gain on derivative financial instruments in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are classified as current, except for the portion expected to be realised or paid more than 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date, which is classified as non- current. Derivatives are categorised as FVTPL unless designated as hedges. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Group utilises derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are remeasured at fair value, with changes generally recognised through profit or loss.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) g) IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) (continued) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (continued) The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with highly probable forecast transactions arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, hedge accounting is used in line with IFRS 9. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accumulated in the hedging reserve. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognised in OCI is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. For all hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve is reclassified to financing costs in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in the hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to profit or loss. h) IFRS 16, Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16. As a lessee When the Group acts as a lessee, at commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right- of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of asset leased. 192 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023

Material Accounting Policies (continued) h) IFRS 16, Leases (continued) As a lessee (continued) Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: » fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; » variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; » amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and » the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded through profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘Lease liability’ in the statement of financial position. As a lessor When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying assets. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of the assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset, the present value of lease payments and any option included in the lease. The Group has determined that all of its leases are operating leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. On modification of a contract that contains a lease component and a non-lease component, I-RES allocates the consideration in the contract to each of the components on the basis of their relative stand- alone prices. Tenant inducements Incentives such as cash, rent-free periods and move-in allowances may be provided to lessees who enter into a lease. The incentives are written off on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of rental revenue. Early termination of leases When the Group receives rent loss payments from a tenant for the early termination of a lease, it is reflected in the accounting period in which the rent loss payment occurred. Expected credit loss (“ECL”) The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables and other financial assets. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. Loss allowances for trade receivables (including lease receivables) are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 194 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) h) IFRS 16, Leases (continued) Expected credit loss (“ECL”) (continued) For individual residential customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 30 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For individual commercial customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 60 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. i) IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) I-RES retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties and therefore accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases. Rent represents lease revenue earned from the conveyance of the right to use the property, including access to common areas, to a lessee for an agreed period of time. The contract also contains a performance obligation that requires I-RES to maintain the common areas to an agreed standard. This right of use and performance obligation is governed by a single rental contract with the tenant. In accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, I-RES has evaluated the lease and non-lease components of its rental revenue and has determined that common area maintenance services constitute a single non-lease element, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 and is recognised separately to Rental Income as revenue under IFRS 15. Rental revenue includes amounts earned from tenants under the rental contract which are allocated to the lease and non-lease components based on relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices of the lease components are determined using an adjusted market assessment approach and the stand-alone selling prices of the service components are determined using the input method based on the expected costs plus an estimated market-based margin for similar services. Rental income from the operating lease component is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. When I-RES provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of such incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of revenue. Revenue from maintenance services represents the service component of the REIT’s rental contracts and is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15. These services consist primarily of the recovery of utilities, property and other common area maintenance and amenity costs where I-RES has determined it is acting as a principal. These services constitute a single non-lease component, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 as the individual activities that comprise these services are not distinct in the context of the contract. The individual activities undertaken to meet the performance obligation may vary from time to time but cumulatively the activities undertaken to meet the performance obligation are relatively consistent over time. The tenant simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided under the performance obligation as I-RES performs the obligation and consequently revenue is recognised over time, typically on a monthly basis, as the services are provided. j) Operating segments The Group operates and is managed as one business segment, namely property investment, with all investment properties located in Ireland. The operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, which has been identified as the I-RES Board. k) Statement of cash flows Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and balances with banks. Investing and financing activities that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents are excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows and are disclosed separately in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Interest paid is classified as financing activities. l) Income taxes Current tax Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) l) Income taxes (continued) Current tax (continued) Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. I-RES elected for REIT status on 31 March 2014. As a result, from that date I-RES does not pay Irish corporation tax on the profits and gains from its qualifying rental business in Ireland, provided it meets certain conditions. Corporation tax is payable in the normal way in respect of income and gains from any residual business (generally including any property trading business) not included in the Property Rental Business. I-RES is liable to pay other taxes such as VAT, stamp duty, land tax, local property tax and payroll taxes in the normal way. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. m) Equity and share issue costs The equity of I-RES consists of ordinary shares issued. Shares issued are recorded at the date of issuance. Direct issue costs in respect of the issue of shares are accounted for as a deduction from retained earnings. The excess consideration for shares above nominal value is recorded as share premium. n) Net asset value (“NAV”) The NAV is calculated as the value of the Group’s assets less the value of its liabilities, measured in accordance with IFRS and in particular will include the Group’s property assets at their fair value assessed independently by valuers. o) Share-based payments I-RES has determined that the options and restricted share units issued to senior executives qualify as “equity-settled share-based payment transactions” as per IFRS 2. In addition, any options issued to the directors and employees also qualify as equity- settled share-based payment transactions. The fair value of the options measured on the grant date will be expensed over the graded vesting term with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value for all options granted is measured using the Black- Scholes model. The grant-date fair value of restricted share units issued to senior employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The fair value for all restricted share units granted is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non- vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. p) Property taxes Property taxes are paid annually and recognised as an expense evenly throughout the year. q) Security deposits Security deposits are amounts received from tenants at the beginning of a tenancy. When a tenant is no longer in occupancy, the Group will assess whether there was damage to the property above normal wear and tear for which deductions may be made to their deposit. Once the inspections and repairs are calculated, the remaining security deposit is returned to the tenant. Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 195

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 196 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 2. Material Accounting Policies (continued) r) Pension The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which a company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. The amounts that are not paid are shown as accruals in the consolidated statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. s) Assets held for sale Non-current assets are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that the assets will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial calculation as held-for-sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. t) Impact expected from new or amended standards The following standards and amendments are under review and are not expected to have a significant impact on reported results or disclosures of the Group. They were not effective at the financial year end 31 December 2023 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The Group will apply the new standards from the effective date. The potential impact of these standards on the Group is under review.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgements that in some cases relate to matters that are inherently uncertain and which affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Areas of such estimation include, but are not limited to, valuation of investment properties and valuation of financial instruments. Changes to estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The valuation estimate of investment properties is deemed to be significant. See note 20(a) and note 5 for a detailed discussion of valuation methods and the significant assumptions and estimates used.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 198 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 5. Investment Properties Valuation basis Investment properties are carried at fair value, which is the amount at which the individual properties could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, considering the highest and best use of the asset, with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised through profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year. The Group uses Savills and CBRE as external independent valuers. The Group’s investment property is rotated between these valuers on a periodic basis. The valuers fair valued all of the Group’s investment properties as at 31 December 2023. The valuers employ qualified valuation professionals who have recent experience in the location and category of the respective properties. Valuations are prepared on a bi-annual basis at the interim reporting date and the annual reporting date. The information provided to the valuers and the assumptions, valuation methodologies and models used by the valuers, are reviewed by management. The valuers meet with the Audit Committee and discuss directly the valuation results as at 30 June and 31 December. The Board determines the Group’s valuation policies and procedures for property valuations. The Board decides which independent valuers to appoint for the external valuation of the Group’s properties. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. Investment property producing income For investment property producing income, the income approach/yield methodology involves applying market-derived yields to current and projected future income streams. These yields and future income streams are derived from comparable property transactions and are considered to be the key inputs in the valuation. Other factors that are taken into account include the tenure of the lease, tenancy details and planning, building and environmental factors that might affect the property. Investment property under development In the case of investment property under development, the approach applied is the “residual method” of valuation, which is the valuation method as described above with a deduction for the costs necessary to complete the development together with an allowance for the remaining risk. At 31 December 2023, all investment property under development was completed and included in investment property producing income. During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company incurred development costs of €Nil (31 December 2022: €4.6 million) relating to the properties under development. Development land In the case of development land, the approach applied is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets. Land values are estimated using either a per acre or per buildable square foot basis based on highest and best use. Such values are applied to the Group’s properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, zoning, servicing and configuration. Information about fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3) At 31 December 2023, the Group considers that all of its investment properties fall within Level 3 fair value as defined by IFRS 13. As outlined in IFRS 13, a Level 3 fair value recognises that the significant inputs and considerations made in determining the fair value of property investments cannot be derived from publicly available data, as the valuation methodology in respect of a property also has to rely on a number of unobservable inputs including technical reports, legal data, building costs, rental analysis (including rent moratorium), professional opinion on profile, lot size, layout and presentation of accommodation. In addition, the valuers utilise proprietary databases maintained in respect of properties similar to the assets being valued. The Group tests the reasonableness of all significant unobservable inputs, including yields and stabilised net rental income (“Stabilised NRI”) used in the valuation and reviews the results with the independent valuers for all valuations. The Stabilised NRI represents cash flows from property revenue less property operating expenses, adjusted for market-based assumptions such as market rents, short term and long term vacancy rates, bad debts, management fees and repairs and maintenance. These cashflows are estimates for current and projected future income streams.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 199 5. Investment Properties (continued) Sensitivity analysis Stabilised NRI and “Equivalent Yields” are key inputs in the valuation model used. Equivalent Yield is the rate of return on a property investment based on current and projected future income streams that such property investment will generate. This is derived by the external valuers and is used to set the term and reversionary yields. For example, completed properties are valued mainly using a term and reversion model. For the existing rental contract or term, estimated Stabilised NRI is based on the expected rents from residents over the period to the next lease break option or expiry. After this period, the reversion, estimated Stabilised NRI is based on expectations from current market conditions. Thus, a decrease in the estimated Stabilised NRI will decrease the fair value and an increase in the estimated Stabilised NRI will increase the fair value. The Equivalent Yields magnify the effect of a change in Stabilised NRI, with a lower yield resulting in a greater effect on the fair value of investment properties than a higher Equivalent Yield. For investment properties producing income and investment properties under development, an increase of 1% in the Equivalent Yield would have the impact of a €193.6 million reduction in fair value while a decrease of 1% in the Equivalent Yield would result in a fair value increase of €279.3 million. An increase between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would result in a fair value increase from €12.7 million to €50.7 million respectively in fair value, while a decrease between 1% - 4% in Stabilised NRI would have the impact ranging from €12.7 million to €50.7 million reduction respectively. I-RES believes that this range of change in Stabilised NRI is a reasonable estimate in the next twelve months based on expected changes in net rental income. The direct operating expenses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the Group is €19.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: €19.1 million), arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period. The direct operating expenses are comprised of the following significant categories: property taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, wages, insurance, service charges and IT costs. The direct operating expenses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income arising from investment property that did not generate rental income for the year ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 was not material. An investment property is comprised of various components, including undeveloped land and vacant residential and commercial units; no direct operating costs were specifically allocated to the components noted above.

The Revolving Credit Facility of €600 million is secured by a floating charge over assets of the Company, IRES Residential Properties Limited and a fixed charge over the shares held by the Company in its subsidiaries, IRES Residential Properties Limited and IRES Fund Management Limited, on a pari passu basis. This facility is being provided by Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and HSBC Continental Europe. The interest on the RCF is set at the annual rate of 1.75%, plus the one-month or three-month EURIBOR rate (at the option of I-RES). There are commitment fees charged on the undrawn loan amount of the RCF. The effective interest rate for the RCF was 4.46% (2022: 2.67%). On 14 December 2022, I-RES entered into hedging arrangements to fix the interest cost on €275m of the RCF. See further details in note 19. On 11 February 2022, the Company exercised an option for an extension with all five banks (Ulster Bank Ireland DAC, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., Barclays Bank Ireland PLC and HSBC Continental Europe) for the entire €600 million facility with a new maturity date of 18 April 2026. On 22 December 2023, the Company served a notice of cancellation per the agreement to reduce the facility by €100m with effect from 4 January 2024, thus reducing the overall facility to €500m. The financial covenants in relation to the RCF principally relate to Loan to Value and Interest Cover Ratio. I-RES has complied with all its debt financial covenants to which it was subject during the period. Gross Loan to Value has remained below the required 50% at 44.9%. In November 2023, the Company agreed with the RCF syndicate and Private Placement Noteholders to amend the current Interest Cover covenant from 200% to 175% until maturity of the RCF in April 2026. Interest Cover has remained above the requirement of 175% at 228% for the year ended 31 December 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 205 11. Private Placement Notes On 11 March 2020, I-RES successfully closed the issue of €130 million notes and IRES Residential Properties Limited, its subsidiary, closed the issue of USD $75 million notes on a private placement basis (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.92% inclusive of a USD/Euro swap and an effective interest rate of 2.07%. Interest is paid semi-annually on 10 March and 10 September. The Notes have been placed in four tranches:

(1) The principal amount of the USD Series A Senior Secured Notes is USD $50 million. (2) The principal amount of the USD Series B Senior Secured Notes is USD $25 million. The Notes are secured by a floating charge over the assets of the Group and a fixed charge over the shares held by the Company in IRES Residential Properties Limited on a pari passu basis. The financial covenants in place in relation to the Private Placement Notes are aligned with the RCF. See note 10 for further details. In the event that the interest cover ratio falls below 200% but above 175%, a coupon bump of 0.75% will apply against the principal of the outstanding notes. This would remain in place until the interest cover was brought above 200%. 12. Business Combinations On 29 January 2022, the Company and CAPREIT entered into binding legal agreements pursuant to which the Company exercised its right under the Investment Management Agreement and purchased 100% of the issued shares of IRES Fund Management Limited (“the Investment Manager”) on a liability free (other than liabilities in the ordinary course of business)/cash free basis for €1, effective from 31 January 2022 (“Completion”). The acquisition was deemed to be in the best interests of I-RES to internalise its management.

No goodwill is attributed to the transaction as the total consideration equates to the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity. Additionally, no intangible assets have been identified. No contingent liabilities were recognised on the acquisition completed during the period. The gross contractual value of other receivables as at the date of acquisition equates to its fair value. The acquisition costs associated with the transaction are included in the non-recurring costs recorded in 2022. The effect on the profit and loss of the Group post acquisition or as if the acquisition had taken place for the full period in 2022 is not practical to disclose given the relationship and current and historic transactions between the two entities. The effect on revenue for the Group post acquisition or as if the acquisition had taken place for the full period is nil given that the revenue recorded by IRES Fund Management Limited is directly related to I-RES. Post completion of the acquisition, I-RES no longer incurs an external Property Management and Asset Management Fee. These costs were historically paid to IRES Fund Management Limited, the entity acquired and therefore the profit or loss of IRES Fund Management is materially affected by transactions with the acquirer, I-RES. 13. Share-based Compensation a) Options Options are issuable pursuant to I-RES’ share-based compensation plan, namely, the long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). For details on options granted under the LTIP, please refer to the statutory financial statements prepared for the year ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021. As at 31 December 2023, the maximum number of additional options, or Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) issuable under the LTIP is 19,786,557 (31 December 2022: 20,594,128).

The fair value of options has been determined as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. b) Restricted Stock Unit Awards Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) were first awarded in the year ended 31 December 2020. Under the Remuneration Policy, recipients of RSUs are granted a variable number of equity instruments depending on their salary. The awards are subject to vesting against market and non-market based conditions. A summary of the awards is set out in the table below. All awards are outstanding at 31 December 2023.

Date of award	Number	EPS Growth	TSR Performance
	of awards	(% of award)	(% of award)

10 August 2022	57,980	50%	50%
15 March 2023	1,245,172	50%	50%

There is between a 24 month and 61 month holding period post vesting, but this is not subject to measurement as all conditions terminate on vesting. The LTIP awards are measured as follows: Market-based condition: The expected performance of I-RES shares over the vesting period is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs are share price volatility for I-RES and the average growth rate. These inputs are calculated with reference to relevant historical data and financial models. It should be recognised that the assumption of an average growth rate is not a prediction of the actual level of returns that will be achieved. The volatility assumption in the distribution gives a measure of the range of outcomes that may occur on either side of this average value. This is used to amortise the fair value of an expected cost over the vesting period. On vesting, any difference in amounts accrued versus actual is amended through reserves. Non-market-based conditions: The fair value of the shares to be issued is determined using the grant date market price. The expected number of shares is calculated based on the expectations of the number of shares which may vest at the vesting date and amortised over the vesting period. At each reporting date, the calculation of the number of shares is revised according to current expectations or performance.

Shareholders’ Equity All equity shares outstanding are fully paid and are voting shares. Equity shares represent a shareholder’s proportionate undivided beneficial interest in I-RES. No equity share has any preference or priority over another. No shareholder has or is deemed to have any right of ownership in any of the assets of I-RES. Each share confers the right to cast one vote at any meeting of shareholders and to participate pro rata in any distributions by I-RES and, in the event of termination of I-RES, in the net assets of I-RES remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities. Shares are to be issued in registered form and are transferable. The number of shares authorised is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank held in current accounts. The management of cash is discussed in note 20. The Group holds funds in excess of its regulatory minimum capital requirement at all times. 16. Revenue from Investment Properties I-RES generates revenue primarily from rental income from investment properties. Rental income represents lease revenue earned from the conveyance of the right to use the property, including access to common areas, to a lessee for an agreed period of time. The rental contract also contains an undertaking that common areas and amenities will be maintained to a certain standard. This right of use of the property and maintenance performance obligation is governed by a single rental contract with the tenant. I-RES has evaluated the lease and non-lease components of its rental revenue and has determined that common area maintenance services constitute a single non-lease element, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 and is recognised separately to Rental Income.

19. Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses on Derivative Financial Instruments Cross-currency swap On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into a cross-currency swap to (i) hedge the US-based loan of USD $75 million into €68.9 million effective 11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest rate on the US-based loan to a fixed Euro interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and 10 March 2030 (see note 11 for derivative fixed rates). This hedging agreement is accounted for as a cashflow hedge in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9. Hedges are measured for effectiveness at each reporting date with the effective portion being recognised in equity in the hedging reserve and the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss within financing costs. For the year ended 31 December 2023, the ineffective portion that has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was a gain of €86,000 (31 December 2022: gain of €35,000). The fair value of the effective portion of €3,035,000 (31 December 2022: €7,310,000) was included in the cash flow hedge reserve along with a gain on hedging of €362,000 (31 December 2022: gain on hedging of €144,000). The fair value of the cash flow hedge was an asset of €969,000 and a liability of €1,594,000 at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: asset of €3,042,000 and liability of €nil). Interest rate swap On 14 December 2022, I-RES entered into hedging arrangements in respect of its RCF, specifically interest rate swap agreements aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility, converting this portion of the facility into a fixed interest rate of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. For the year ended 31 December 2023, the fair value of the effective portion of €3,125,000 (31 December 2022: €4,065,000) has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was an asset of €1,910,000 and a liability of €2,073,000 at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: asset of €4,772,000 and liability of €9,000). 20. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investment Properties The Group classifies and discloses the fair value for each class of financial instrument based on the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market value data obtained from independent sources and the Group’s own assumptions about market value. The hierarchy levels are defined below: Level 1 - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Inputs based on factors other than quoted prices included in Level 1 and may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and Level 3 - Inputs which are unobservable for the asset or liability and are typically based on the Group’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, related market activity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 211 20. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investment Properties (continued) The Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following table presents the Group’s estimates of fair value on a recurring basis based on information available as at 31 December 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. As at 31 December 2023, the fair value of the Group’s private placement debt is estimated to be €168.4 million (31 December 2022: €158.2 million) due to changes in interest rates since the private placement debt was issued and the impact of the passage of time on the fixed rate of the private placement debt. The fair value of the private placement debt is based on discounted future cash flows using rates that reflect current rates for similar financial instruments with similar duration, terms and conditions, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The private placement debt is recorded at amortised cost of €196.1 million (31 December 2022: €198.2 million). As at 31 December 2023, the fair value of the Group’s RCF is estimated to be €373.4 million (31 December 2022: €453.7 million). The fair value is based on the margin rate and EURIBOR forward curve at the reporting date. The RCF is recorded at amortised cost of €371.3 million at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: €453.7 million).

(1) See note 5 for detailed information on the valuation methodologies and fair value reconciliation. (2) The valuation of the interest rate swap instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. The fair value is determined using the market-standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted variable cash receipts of the derivatives. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rates. If the total mark-to-market value is positive, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty and if the total mark-to-market value is negative, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect I-RES’ own credit risk in the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap agreements. (3) The cross-currency swaps are valued by constructing the cash flows of each side and then discounting them back to the present using appropriate discount factors, including consideration of credit risk, in those currencies. The cash flows of the more liquid quoted currency pair will be discounted using standard discount factors, while the cash flows of the less liquid currency pair will be discounted using cross- currency basis-adjusted discount factors.

Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) b) Risk Management The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Group’s approach to managing these risks is summarised as follows: Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks. The Group’s financial assets currently comprise short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, deposits on acquisition and derivatives. Short-term bank deposits are held while awaiting suitable investment properties for investment. These are denominated in Euro. Therefore, exposure to market risk in relation to these is limited to interest rate risk. The Group also has private placement notes that are denoted in USD. The Group’s risk management strategy is to mitigate foreign exchange variability to the extent that it is practicable and cost effective to do so. The Group utilises cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the Group’s existing, fixed foreign-currency denominated borrowings. The use of cross-currency interest rate swaps is consistent with the Group’s risk management strategy to effectively eliminate variability in the Group’s functional currency equivalent cash flows on a portion of its borrowings due to variability in the USD-EUR exchange rate. The hedges protect the Group against adverse variability in foreign exchange rates and the effective portion is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve, with the ineffective portion being recognised through profit or loss within financing costs. Derivatives designated as hedges against foreign exchange risks are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Hedges are measured for effectiveness at each accounting date and the accounting treatment of changes in fair value revised accordingly. Specifically, the Company is hedging (1) the foreign exchange risk on the USD interest payments and (2) the foreign exchange risk on the USD principal repayment of the USD borrowings at maturity. This hedging relationship qualifies for foreign currency cash flow hedge accounting. On 12 February 2020, I-RES entered into cross-currency swaps to (i) exchange the USD loan of USD $75 million into €68.9 million effective 11 March 2020 and (ii) convert the fixed interest rate on the USD loan to a fixed Euro interest rate, maturing on 10 March 2027 and 10 March 2030. At the inception of the hedging relationship the Company has identified the following potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness: 1. Movements in the Company’s and hedging counterparty’s credit spread that would result in movements in fair value of the hedging instrument that would not be reflected in the movements in the value of the hedged transactions. 2. The possibility of changes to the critical terms (e.g. reset dates, index mismatches, payment dates) of the hedged transaction due to a refinancing or debt renegotiation such that they no longer match those of the hedging instrument. The Company would reflect such mismatch when modelling the hypothetical derivative and this could be a potential source of hedge ineffectiveness. Whilst sources of ineffectiveness do exist in the hedging relationship, the Company expects changes in value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction to offset and systematically move in opposite directions given that the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged transactions are closely aligned at inception as described above. Therefore, the Company has qualitatively concluded that there is an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction in accordance with IFRS 9.

Master netting or similar agreements The Group enters into derivative transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements. In general, under these agreements the amounts owed by each counterparty on a single day in respect of all transactions outstanding in the same currency are aggregated into a single net amount that is payable by one party to the other. In certain circumstances, all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions. The ISDA agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. This is because the Group does not have any currently legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts, because the right to offset is enforceable only on the occurrence of future events. The following table sets out the carrying amounts of recognised financial instruments that are subject to the above agreements.

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks The Group does not have any exposures to IBORs on its financial instruments due to IBOR reform as fixed to fixed rates are used. IBOR reform does not impact the Group’s risk management and hedge accounting. The Group has EURIBOR on its RCF, which is not impacted by the interest rate benchmark reform.

Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) b) Risk Management (continued) Interest Rate Risk With regard to the cost of borrowing I-RES has used and may continue to use hedging, where considered appropriate, to mitigate interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2023, I-RES’ RCF was drawn for €373 million. The interest on the RCF is paid at a rate of 1.75% per annum plus the one-month or three-month EURIBOR rate (at the option of I-RES) or at a floor of zero if EURIBOR is negative. As previously noted, on 14 December 2022, I-RES entered into interest rate swaps in respect of its RCF, aggregating to €275 million until maturity of the facility, converting this portion of the facility into a fixed interest rate of 2.5% plus margin of 1.75%. As of the year end, approximately 83% of the Company’s drawn debt is now fixed against interest rate volatility. The Company’s private placement debt has a fixed rate of 1.92%. For the year ended 31 December 2023, a 100-basis point change in 1 month Euribor interest rates across the period would have had the following effect:

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in accessing capital markets and refinancing its financial obligations as they come due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables, together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables and capital commitments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 217 20. Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management (continued) b) Risk Management (continued) The carrying value of bank indebtedness and trade and other payables (other liabilities) approximates their fair value. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that: (i) counterparties to contractual financial obligations will default; or (ii) the possibility that the Group’s tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to meet their rental obligations. The Group monitors its risk exposure regarding obligations with counterparties through the regular assessment of counterparties’ credit positions. The Group mitigates the risk of credit loss with respect to tenants by evaluating the creditworthiness of new tenants and obtaining security deposits wherever permitted by legislation. The Group monitors its collection experience on a monthly basis and ensures that a stringent policy is adopted to provide for all past due amounts. All residential accounts receivable balances exceeding 30 days are written off to bad debt expense and recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group’s allowance for expected credit loss amounted to a gain of €90,000 for the year ended 31 December 2023 and is recorded as part of property operating costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (31 December 2022: charge of €725,000). Cash and cash equivalents are held with major Irish and European institutions which have credit ratings between A- and A+. The Company deposits cash with a number of individual institutions to avoid concentration of risk with any one counterparty. The Group has also engaged the services of a depository to ensure the security of cash assets. Risk of counterparty default arising on derivative financial instruments is controlled by dealing with high-quality institutions and by a policy limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one bank or institution. Derivative financial instrument counter parties have credit ratings in the range of A- to A+. Capital management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, I-RES may issue new shares or consider the sale of assets to reduce debt. I-RES, through the Irish REIT Regime, is restricted in its use of capital to making investments in real estate property in Ireland. I-RES intends to continue to make distributions if its results of operations and cash flows permit in the future. The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business at 31 December 2023, capital consists of equity and debt and Group Net LTV was 44.3% (2022: 43.3%). I-RES seeks to use gearing to enhance shareholder returns over the long term. The level of gearing is monitored carefully by the Board. The Board monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends paid to ordinary shareholders. Subject to distributable reserves, it is the policy of I-RES to distribute at least 85% of the Property Income of its Property Rental Business for each accounting period as required under the REIT legislation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 218 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 21. Taxation I-RES elected for REIT status on 31 March 2014. As a result, from that date the Group is exempt from paying Irish corporation tax on the profits and gains it makes from qualifying rental businesses in Ireland provided it meets certain conditions. Instead, dividends paid to shareholders in respect of the Property Rental Business are treated for Irish tax purposes as income in the hands of shareholders. Corporation tax is still payable in the normal way in respect of income and gains from any residual business (generally including any property trading business) not included in the Property Rental Business. I-RES is also liable to pay other taxes such as VAT, stamp duty, local property tax and payroll taxes in the normal way. Within the Irish REIT Regime, for corporation tax purposes the Property Rental Business is treated as a separate business from the residual business. A loss incurred by the Property Rental Business cannot be offset against profits of the residual business. An Irish REIT is required, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves, to distribute to its shareholders (by way of dividend), on or before the filing date for its tax return for the accounting period in question, at least 85% of the Property Income of the Property Rental Business arising in each accounting period. Failure to meet this requirement would result in a tax charge calculated by reference to the extent of the shortfall in the dividend paid. A dividend paid by an Irish REIT from its Property Rental Business is referred to as a property income distribution. Any normal dividend paid from the residual business by the Irish REIT is referred to as a non- property income distribution dividend. The Directors confirm that the Group has remained in compliance with the Irish REIT Regime up to and including the date of this Report.

The main driver of taxation for I-RES in the period relates to Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”). This arose on the profit on disposal of the Rockbrook site. CGT is payable on this as the site constitutes a disposal of an asset of the residual business as opposed to the property rental business of the Group. The remaining taxation is driven by the operations of IRES Fund Management Limited acquired in 2022. The deferred tax is €nil at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: €nil).

I-RES has determined that the key management personnel comprise the Board of Directors. See note 29 for further details on remuneration. Owners’ management companies not consolidated As a result of the acquisition by the Group of apartments or commercial space in certain residential rental properties, the Group holds voting rights in the relevant owners’ management companies associated with those developments. Where the Group holds the majority of those voting rights, this entitles it, inter alia, to control the composition of such owners’ management companies’ boards of directors. However, as each of those owners’ management companies is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee for the purpose of owning the common areas in residential or mixed-use developments, they are not intended to be traded for gains. I-RES does not consider these owners’ management companies to be material for consolidation as the total assets of the owners’ management companies is less than 1% of the Group’s total assets. I-RES has considered the latest available financial statements of these owners’ management companies in making this assessment.

(1) For residential apartments, the voting rights are calculated based on one vote per apartment regardless of the size of that apartment. For commercial, it is based on square footage of the units or the memorandum and articles of the particular management company. (2) Includes voting rights controlled directly and indirectly. All of the owners’ management companies are incorporated in Ireland and are property management companies. As noted above, as at 31 December 2023, €98,500 is payable and €1,030,600 is prepaid by the Group to the owners’ management companies. As at 31 December 2022, €168,800 was payable and €714,100 was prepaid by I-RES to the owners’ management companies. 25. Contingencies At Beacon South Quarter, in addition to the capital expenditure work that has already been completed, water ingress works were identified in 2016 and I-RES is working with the Beacon South Quarter owners’ management company to resolve these matters. There is also an active insurance claim with respect to the water ingress and related damage. The amount of potential costs relating to these structural remediation works cannot be currently measured with sufficient reliability. 26. Commitments In January 2022, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement to acquire 44 residential units at Ashbrook, Clontarf. The transaction was part of the total purchase price of €66.0 million (including VAT but excluding other transaction costs) paid for a total of 152 units, with the Company taking ownership of 108 units during the period to date. As part of the acquisition agreement entered into the Company has a gross capital commitment of €24.1 million in respect of the 44 units. These units are expected to be completed in H1 2024. Net cash outflow after taking account of deposit paid and proceeds from disposal of Part V units is expected to be c. €20 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 226 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 27. Loss per Share Earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the reporting period attributable to ordinary shareholders of I-RES by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Diluted Loss per share (cents)	(21.9)	(2.2)

(1) Diluted weighted average number of shares includes the additional shares resulting from dilution of the long-term incentive plan options as of the reporting period date. (2) At 31 December 2023, 4,596,499 options (31 December 2022: 4,596,499) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. EPRA issued Best Practices Recommendations most recently in October 2019, which gives guidelines for performance matters. EPRA Earnings represents the earnings from the core operational activities (recurring items for I-RES). It is intended to provide an indicator of the underlying performance of the property portfolio and therefore excludes all components not relevant to the underlying and recurring performance of the portfolio, including any revaluation results and results from the sale of properties. EPRA Earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period attributable to shareholders of I-RES by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (continued) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Strategic Report 8 Governance 92 Financial Statements Supplementary Information 248 227 28. Net Asset Value per Share In October 2019, EPRA introduced three EPRA NAV metrics to replace the then existing EPRA NAV calculation that was previously being presented. The three EPRA NAV metrics are EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (“EPRA NRV’’), EPRA Net Tangible Asset (“EPRA NTA”) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (“EPRA NDV”). Each EPRA NAV metric serves a different purpose. The EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long term basis. EPRA NTA assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. Lastly, EPRA NDV provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liabilities. The table below presents the transition between the Group’s shareholders’ equity derived from the consolidated financial statements and the various EPRA NAV. EPRA NAV per Share

(1) Following changes to the Irish REIT legislation introduced in October 2019, if a REIT disposes of an asset of its property rental business and does not (i) distribute the gross disposal proceeds to shareholders by way of dividend; (ii) reinvest them into other assets of its property rental business (whether by acquisition or capital expenditure) within a three-year window (being one year before the sale and two years after it); or (iii) use them to repay debt specifically used to acquire, enhance or develop the property sold, then the REIT will be liable to tax at a rate of 25% on 85% of the gross disposal proceeds, subject to having sufficient distributable reserves. For the purposes of EPRA NTA, the Group has assumed any such sales proceeds are reinvested within the required three year window. (2) Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS statement of financial position. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group’s assets was undertaken over a period of several years, during which time (i) the Group remained a REIT; (ii) no new assets were acquired or sales proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were held for three years from completion; and (iv) those assets were sold at 31 December 2023 valuations, the sales proceeds would need to be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend within the required time frame or else a tax liability amounting to up to 25% of distributable reserves plus current unrealised revaluation gains could arise for the Group. (3) This is the purchaser costs amount as provided in the valuation certificate. Purchasers’ costs consist of items such as stamp duty on legal transfer and other purchase fees that may be incurred and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair value of investment for IFRS purposes. Purchasers’ costs are in general estimated at 9.96% for commercial, 4.46% for residential apartment units and 12.46% for houses and duplexes.

In preparing these financial statements, the Company applies the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“EU IFRS”) but makes amendments where necessary in order to comply with the Companies Act 2014 and has set out below where advantage of the FRS 101 disclosure exemptions has been taken. In these financial statements, the Company has applied the exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of the following disclosures: » Disclosures in respect of capital management; » The effects of new but not yet effective IFRSs; The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and derivatives at fair value through profit or loss and the measurement of share options at fair value at the date of grant. The financial statements of the Company have been presented in Euro, which is the Company’s functional currency. For Company details, refer to note 30 of the consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are the same as those of the Group, which are set out in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. Investment in subsidiaries Investment in subsidiaries is shown at cost less provision for any impairment or diminution in value. Intercompany loan The intercompany loan is recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

234 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 III. Investment Properties For further information on investment properties, refer to note 5 of the consolidated financial statements. For the Company, an increase of 1% in the Equivalent Capitalisation Rate would have the impact of a €170.1 million reduction in fair value while a decrease of 1% in the Equivalent Capitalisation Rate would result in a fair value increase of €244.5 million. An increase between 1% and 4% in Stabilised NRI would have an impact ranging from €11.2 million to €45.0 million respectively in fair value, while a decrease between 1% and 4% in Stabilised NRI would have the impact ranging from €11.2 million to €45.0 million reduction respectively. I-RES believes that this range of change in Stabilised NRI is a reasonable estimate in the next twelve months based on expected changes in Stabilised NRI.

Revenue From Investment Properties The Company generates revenue primarily from rental income from investment properties. Rental income represents lease revenue earned from the conveyance of the right to use the property, including access to common areas, to a lessee for an agreed period of time. The rental contract also contains an undertaking that common areas and amenities will be maintained to a certain standard. This right of use of the property and maintenance performance obligation is governed by a single rental contract with the tenant. The Company has evaluated the lease and non-lease components of its rental revenue and has determined that common area maintenance services constitute a single non-lease element, which is accounted for as one performance obligation under IFRS 15 and is recognised separately to rental income.

Financial Instruments, Investment Properties and Risk Management a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Investment Properties For further information on the fair value of financial instruments and investment properties, refer to note 20(a) of the consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the Company’s estimates of the fair value on a recurring basis based on information available as at 31 December 2023, and aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. As at 31 December 2023, the fair value of the Company’s private placement debt is estimated to be €106.7 million. (31 December 2022: €100 million). The fair value of the Company’s loan advances from subsidiary is estimated to be €70.9 million. (31 December 2022: €72.7 million). The change in fair value is due to changes in interest rates since the private placement debt was issued and the impact of the passage of time on the fixed rate of the private placement debt. The fair value of the private placement debt is based on discounted future cash flows using rates that reflect current rates for similar financial instruments with similar duration, terms and conditions, which are considered Level 2 inputs. As at 31 December 2023 Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities €’000 Level 2 Significant other observable inputs €’000 Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs (1) €’000 Total €’000 Recurring Measurements – Assets Investment properties — — 1,130,235 1,130,235 Derivative financial instruments — 1,910 — 1,910 — 1,910 1,130,235 1,132,145 Recurring Measurements – Liability Derivative financial instruments (2) — (2,073) — (2,073) Total — (163) 1,130,235 1,130,072 As at 31 December 2022 Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities €’000 Level 2 Significant other observable inputs €’000 Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs (1) €’000 Total €’000 Recurring Measurements – Assets Investment properties — — 1,316,988 1,316,988 Derivative financial instruments — 4,772 — 4,772 — 4,772 1,316,988 1,321,760 Recurring Measurements – Liability Derivative financial instruments (2) — (9) — (9) Total — 4,763 1,316,988 1,321,751 (1) See note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for detailed information on the valuation methodologies and fair value reconciliation. (2) The valuation of the interest rate swap instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. The fair value is determined using the market-standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted variable cash receipts of the derivatives. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rates. If the total mark-to-market value is positive, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty, and if the total mark-to-market value is negative, I-RES will include a current value adjustment to reflect I-RES’ own credit risk in the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap agreements.

For the purposes of EPRA NTA, the Group has assumed any such sales proceeds are reinvested within the required three year window. (2) Deferred tax is assumed as per the IFRS statement of financial position. To the extent that an orderly sale of the Group’s assets was undertaken over a period of several years, during which time (i) the Group remained a REIT; (ii) no new assets were acquired or sales proceeds reinvested; (iii) any developments completed were held for three years from completion; and (iv) those assets were sold at 31 June 2022 valuations, the sales proceeds would need to be distributed to shareholders by way of dividend within the required time frame or else a tax liability amounting to up to 25% of distributable reserves plus current unrealised revaluation gains could arise for the Group. (3) This is the purchaser costs amount as provided in the valuation certificate. Purchasers’ costs consist of items such as stamp duty on legal transfer and other purchase fees that may be incurred and which are deducted from the gross value in arriving at the fair value of investment for IFRS purposes.

250 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 Alternative performance measures The Group has applied the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) ‘Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures’ in this document. An alternative performance measure (“APM”) is a measure of financial or future performance, position or cash flows of the Group which is not a measure defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The main APMs presented are European Public Real Estate Association (“EPRA”) performance measures as set out in EPRA’s Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines 2019 (“BPR”). These measures are defined by EPRA in order to encourage comparability with the real estate sector in Europe.

256 I-RES Annual Report and Accounts 2023 “Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses” General and administrative expenses adjusted to remove non-recurring costs; “Annualised Passing Rent” Defined as the actual monthly residential and commercial rents under contract with residents as at the stated date, multiplied by 12, to annualise the monthly rent; “Average Monthly Rent (AMR)” Actual monthly residential rents, net of vacancies, as at the stated date, divided by the total number of apartments owned in the property; “Basic Earnings per share (Basic EPS)” Calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the reporting period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company in accordance with IFRS by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period; “Companies Act, 2014” The Irish Companies Act, 2014; “Diluted weighted average number of shares” Includes the additional shares resulting from dilution of the long-term incentive plan options as of the reporting period date; “Adjusted EBITDA” Represents earnings before lease interest, financing costs, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, gain or loss on disposal of investment property, net movement in fair value of investment properties and gain or loss on derivative financial instruments and non-recurring costs to show the underlying operating performance of the Group; “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” Calculated as Adjusted EBITDA over the revenue from investment properties; “EPRA” The European Public Real Estate Association; “EPRA Diluted EPS” Calculated by dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period attributable to shareholders of the Company by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. EPRA Earnings measures the level of income arising from operational activities. It is intended to provide an indicator of the underlying income performance generated from leasing and management of the property portfolio, while taking into account dilutive effects and therefore excludes all components not relevant to the underlying net income performance of the portfolio, such as unrealised changes in valuation and any gains or losses on disposals of properties; “EPRA Earnings” EPRA Earnings is the profit after tax excluding revaluations and gains and losses on disposals and associated taxation (if any); “Adjusted EPRA Earnings” Represents EPRA Earnings adjusted for non-recurring costs to show the underlying EPRA Earnings of the Group; “EPRA EPS” Calculated by dividing EPRA Earnings for the reporting period attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. EPRA Earnings measures the level of income arising from operational activities. It is intended to provide an indicator of the underlying income performance generated from leasing and management of the property portfolio and therefore excludes all components not relevant to the underlying net income performance of the portfolio, such as unrealised changes in valuation and any gains or losses on disposals of properties; “Adjusted EPRA EPS” EPRA EPS calculated using Adjusted EPRA Earnings; “EPRA NAV” EPRA introduced three EPRA NAV metrics to replace the existing EPRA NAV calculation that was previously being presented. The three EPRA NAV metrics are EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (“EPRA NRV’), EPRA Net Tangible Asset (“EPRA NTA”) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (“EPRA NDV”). Each EPRA NAV metric serves a different purpose. The EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long term basis. EPRA NTA assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. Any gains arising from the sale of a property are expected either to be reinvested for growth or 85% of the net proceeds are distributed to the shareholders to maintain the REIT status.
