Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the Start Up Entrepreneur Programme was reviewed in 2014 and there are no current plans to conduct another review. It is intended, however, to carry out a review of the Immigrant Investor Programme which will be completed in early 2017.
