Members of the Burke family could be heard repeatedly chanting: "Chairperson John Rogers must be present at this meeting", "Where is the chairperson?" and "It's a sham. It’s a cover-up".
They could be seen gathered in front of the top table in the room.
A witness said the disturbance began almost immediately from the start of the meeting.
Gardaí were seen standing outside the meeting room.
Speaking to the media at the hotel, Enoch Burke insisted the meeting should not have gone ahead without the chairman of the Board of Directors being present.
