Written Answers Nos. 136-149
136. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if leave to remain or stamp 4 will be awarded in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2699/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has submitted written representations. These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.
With a view to having the case of the person concerned progressed, a representative of the INIS wrote to the person concerned on 22 June 2017 requesting the submission of specific documentation. There is no record of the requested documentation having been submitted to date. The position in the State of the person concerned can be further considered upon receipt of the requested documentation.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the email service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
137. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if in the case of a person (details supplied) they can have the requirement for their Angolan passport waived due to extreme difficulty in obtaining the document; if their national identification card will suffice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2700/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a representative of the INIS wrote to the person concerned on 9 January 2018 requesting certain information and documentation to enable that person's immigration case to be progressed. Included in that communication was a request that the person concerned "....submit a colour copy of the bio-data page from your current passport, or an expired passport..."
The Deputy will appreciate the necessity of any third country national person seeking a right of residence in the State being in a position to provide verifiable documentary evidence to attest to their identity and nationality. As a result, the person concerned should make every possible effort to convince the INIS of their identity and nationality so that their immigration case can be progressed.
I am advised that this is a standard requirement in the context of persons in the immigration process who have not, up to that point, provided documentary evidence of their identity and nationality. It is a reasonable expectation that such persons would be in a position to provide such National documentation to establish their identity, given that they will invariably have crossed international borders, and negotiated international airports, or ports before arriving in this State.
If there are particular extenuating circumstances which means that the person concerned cannot provide a current passport bio-data page to attest to their identity and nationality they or their legal representatives should contact my Department at Info@justice.ie . The INIS will engage further on the matter in the context of the individual circumstances of each case.
138. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the spouse of a person (details supplied) can have their stamp 3 upgraded to stamp 4 in view of their spouse's status of stamp 4; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2701/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the spouse of the person in question should submit their request in writing to Unit 2, Residence Division, INIS.
When writing to Unit 2, they should include a brief outline of their history in the State and, as applicable, details of any children or other dependents.
In order to ensure the efficient processing of this request the persons concerned should include, at a minimum, full copies of all passports, marriage certificate and birth certificates as applicable. Their request will be assessed upon receipt of this information.

139. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2702/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the records indicate that the person in question currently has permission to reside in the State until 12 September 2020. An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person is currently being processed and will be submitted to me for decision as expeditiously as possible.
As the Deputy will appreciate, the granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation is a privilege and an honour which confers certain rights and entitlements not only within the State but also at European Union level and it is important that appropriate procedures are in place to preserve the integrity of the process.
It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a decision on their application without delay. While most cases are now generally processed within six months, the nature of the naturalisation process is such that, for a broad range of reasons, some cases will take longer than others to process. In some instances, completing the necessary checks can take a considerable period of time.

140. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 50 of 26 January 2017 and 216 of 26 September 2017, if temporary or long-term residency will be considered in the case of a person (details supplied). [2705/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), written representations have been submitted on behalf of the person concerned.
These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.

141. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to allocate additional Garda personnel and resources to the Cavan and Monaghan Garda divisions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2708/18]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel, among the various Garda Divisions and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. Garda management keeps this distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the optimum use is made of these resources.
The Garda strength of the Cavan/Monaghan Division on 30 November 2017, the latest date for which figures are available, was 323 with 11 Garda Reserves and 37 Garda civilian staff attached to the Division. When appropriate, the work of local Gardaí is supported by a number of Garda national units such as the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Armed Support Units, the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
As the Deputy will be aware, this Government is committed to ensuring a strong and visible police presence throughout the country in order to maintain and strengthen community engagement, provide reassurance to citizens and to deter crime. To achieve this the Government has put in place a plan for an overall Garda workforce of 21,000 personnel by 2021 comprising 15,000 Garda members, 2,000 Reserve members and 4,000 civilians. We are making real, tangible progress on achieving this goal.
I am informed by the Commissioner that since the reopening of the Garda College in September 2014, just under 1,600 recruits have attested as members of An Garda Síochána and have been assigned to mainstream duties nationwide, of whom 40 have been assigned to the Cavan/Monaghan Division. I am pleased to say that Garda numbers, taking account of retirements, increased to 13,552 at the end of 2017 - an increase of over 600 since the end of 2016.
I am also pleased that funding is in place to maintain this high level of investment in the Garda workforce to ensure that the vision of an overall workforce of 21,000 by 2021 remains on track. This year a further 800 new Garda Recruits will enter the Garda College. Also 800 Garda trainees are scheduled to attest during the year which will see Garda numbers, taking account of projected retirements, reach 14,000 by the end of 2018.
In addition, a further 500 civilians will also be recruited to fill critical skills gaps across the organisation and to facilitate the redeployment of Gardaí from administrative and technical duties to front-line operational duties. There are plans to strengthen the Garda Reserve with new Reserves expected to commence training early in 2018.
This focus on investment in personnel is critical. The moratorium on recruitment introduced in 2010 resulted in a significant reduction in the strength of An Garda Síochána. We are now rebuilding the organisation and providing the Commissioner with the resources needed to deploy increasing numbers of Gardaí across every Division, including the Cavan/Monaghan Division.
In so far as the allocation of newly attested Gardaí is concerned, this is a matter for the Commissioner. I am assured by the Commissioner that the needs of all Garda Divisions are fully considered when determining the allocation of resources. However, it is important to keep in mind that newly attested Gardaí have a further 16 months of practical and class-room based training to complete in order to receive their BA in Applied Policing. To ensure that they are properly supported and supervised and have opportunities to gain the breadth of policing experience required, the Commissioner's policy is to allocate them to specially designated training stations which have the required training and development structures and resources in place, including trained Garda tutors and access to a permanently appointed supervisory Sergeant who is thoroughly familiar with their responsibilities under the training programme.
142. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the status of the €300 million Brexit loan scheme for SMEs announced in budget 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2424/18]
View answerThe Brexit Loan Scheme announced in Budget 2018 will provide affordable working capital financing to eligible Irish businesses that are either currently impacted by Brexit or will be in the future. Along with the SBCI and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, my Department is continuing to develop the Brexit Loan Scheme ahead of its planned launch in March of this year.
In December, the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) issued an “Open Call” for financial institutions to apply for designation as a lending partner under the Brexit Loan Scheme. The SBCI is currently reviewing the applications received from lenders seeking to participate in the Scheme. Eligible businesses will apply for the Scheme through the SBCI.
Further details will be released, as they are available, in the run up to the Scheme's launch in March.
143. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the reason for the €9 million capital underspend in her Department as outlined in the Fiscal Monitor for December 2017; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2494/18]
View answerThe 2017 Revised Estimates Volume capital allocation for my Department was €555 million. The provisional outturn of capital expenditure was €546.53 million, leaving some €8.47 million in capital monies remaining. Of this, €8 million was converted to current moneys and expended by year end as part of the Department’s contribution to the new Brexit Loan Scheme. This was done through a technical Supplementary Estimate approved by the Houses of the Oireachtas in December 2017.
The Supplementary Estimate contained a total package of €40 million in current and capital monies being redistributed from already voted monies across my Department’s Vote last year. This funding package was as follows:
- €14 million in current monies to provide towards the new Brexit Loan Scheme to SMEs (Small & Medium Enterprises) impacted by Brexit.
- An additional €12 million in capital monies to pay off some of the remaining commitments under Cycle 5 of the Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions.
- An additional €10.6 million in capital monies being provided through Science Foundation Ireland to provide for cutting-edge research equipment.
- An additional €2.4 million in capital monies to the Tyndall National Institute, Cork for its research facilities; and
- An additional €1 million in capital monies to further support Irish companies participation in the European Space Agency programmes.
The funding capacity for the technical Supplementary Estimate arose from a combination of Capital and Current underspends arising across my Department’s Vote and additional own resource income (ORI) being generated as follows:
- An additional €13 million in ORI being generated through Enterprise Ireland (EI). EI is obliged to expend ORI first before drawing down exchequer funds and this therefore provided €13 million in exchequer capital to be contributed to the Supplementary Estimate.
- €12 million remaining unspent as part of Enterprise Ireland’s 2017 Regional Funding plans.
- €5 million in a combination of other Enterprise Ireland grant funded programmes which had not been claimed yet by client companies.
- €3 million in relation to IDAs Regional Property Programme due to some delays on a number of projects across the country. This is not untypical given the nature of property investments which typically involve planning requirements, contractual issues, adverse weather conditions and tendering and procurement timelines.
- €1 million in relation to the Interreg Programme as a consequence of delayed commencement of the programme due to UKs Brexit vote in 2016.
- €3 million in Pay underspends across the Department and some of its Offices due to staff vacancies and some delays in recruitment.
- €3 million in Non-pay underspends across the Department and some of its Offices for a variety of reasons including staff vacancies, reduced Legal Fees expenditure and some delays on accommodation related projects.
It is important to note that good corporate governance procedures and the public financial rules means that Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland will ensure payments of exchequer monies, be they on capital grants or for property solutions, will be on foot of presentation of matured liabilities or evidence that the terms and conditions of the grant awards has been met and requests for funding being supplied by client companies.
144. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation her views on the National Competitiveness Council’s latest report Ireland’s Competitiveness Challenge 2017; and the timeframe for implementation of the recommendations in this publication. [2713/18]
View answerIreland’s improving competitiveness performance over the period 2011-2016 has been central to the recovery in employment and economic growth. Nevertheless, as set out in the 2017 Competitiveness Challenge a range of threats have emerged, not least of which is the impact of Brexit. I share the Council’s view that Ireland must rigorously pursue cost competitiveness, address barriers to investment and growth, drive productivity performance and be responsive to competitiveness challenges and opportunities that are emerging. As Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, my objective is to ensure the economy is resilient at sectoral and firm level to deal with imminent competitiveness challenges and to build further on the progress we have made in making it easier to start and run a business in Ireland.
A range of policy challenges and recommendations for consideration by Government are identified by the Council in the Competitiveness Challenge report. The report has been considered by Government and at Cabinet Committee. The specifics of the challenges and recommendations range from short to long term actions. In some cases, the Council’s proposals address the need to complete or expedite ongoing work or to implement existing strategies.
I will continue to engage with relevant Ministers through the Cabinet Committee structure to develop meaningful actions to enhance national competitiveness. In addition, actions to address competitiveness will be addressed as part of the 2018 Action Plan for Jobs.
145. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the number of IDA client visits by county in each of the years 2011 to 2017; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2723/18]
View answerUnder its current strategy, IDA Ireland has targeted an increase of 30% to 40% in foreign direct investment (FDI) in every region outside Dublin by 2019. Site visits remain an important tool to help encourage further such FDI and the IDA does its utmost to draw the attention of potential investors to suitable locations outside of our main urban areas.
We should always remember, however, that the decision a company makes on where to locate can be influenced by an array of factors. These include local infrastructure, availability of property and proximity to transport hubs. While the IDA encourages firms to locate in regional areas that may suit their business, the final decision always rests with the company itself.
The following table sets out the number of site visits to each County from 2011 to Q3 2017:

View answer149. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the number of persons in employment in IDA Ireland-supported companies in the mid east and Dublin regions respectively on an annual basis over the period 2012 to 2017, inclusive; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2727/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 146 to 149, inclusive, together.
Regional development is a key priority of mine and I am focused on increasing investment in every County in Ireland. The IDA shares this objective and its results for 2017 show that half of all job approvals last year were for locations outside Dublin. IDA client company employment also grew by 5.3% in 2017, bringing the total number working in overseas firms to over 210,000. I look forward to working closely with the Agency and across Government to attract further FDI into regional locations in 2018.
