I and other owners wish to call an EGM of an owners management company. I wish to get the wording correct and have everything included that should be included in the wording.
The vast majority of owners wish to remove the current Dr's but I am stuck with doing the paper work for this.
This matter should have been dealt with years ago.

A brief history.
Dr's are essentially a carry over from the building phase. The treat it as a family right.
No AGM's held in 9 years. No election of Dr's ever. No approval of budgets etc etc etc.
The accounts have essentially never been submitted on time and revenue penalies have been incurred.
The current accounts due since end of Feb 2015 have not been submitted yet.
The accounts that were submitted for the past 5 years bear no resemblance to what took place in reality and we cannot get an explanation.
I will appreciate any help.
 
Thanks mathepac. What I was really looking for is the wording/template for calling a legal EGM. This is now an urgent issue to remove the Dr's to sort out accounts / financial issues / pay insurance/lighting etc. The Dr's will ignore the ODCE letters and it will be too long drawn out going this route in the circumstances that we find ourselves in.
We have the numbers to carry any vote.
 
You will still need to access the http://www.odce.ie web-site and download "The Property Management Handbook". and consult Sections 25 - 28 (pp 130 - 148) which includes templates for EGMs and Written Resolutions as well as the legal notices etc that need to be given, There is no way to short-circuit the research other than to imply a legal expert, which I feel you'd be advised to do. Citizens Information or FLAC may be able to help but you will still ned the Handbook for guidance.

p.s I just noticed my copy is 2008. You'll probably need a newer one. I cannot reproduce any content here as the Handbook contains copyright material.
 
ODCE as stated is the best port of call. This is of course just a template and can be added to and adjusted as needed to meet your needs. Both AGM and EGM documentation is very similar.

The wording is the very LEAST of your concerns however.

Remember that you don't remove company directors, you seek to replace them.
Who will the replacements be? If your concerned about being stuck with writing one letter I'm not sure that bodes well for the much greater amount of paper work and work in general required to run an OMC.

Without committed and viable alternatives to the current directors who are ready to stand up and make a difference the EGM is a waste of time.
