Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
877. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Justice further to Parliamentary Question No. 407 of 5 May 2022, when the review of the immigrant investment programme, delivered to her Department in November 2020, will be published; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36943/23]
View answerThe report to which the Deputy refers was published on 28 June 2023. It is available on my Department's Immigration Service website: www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-live-in-ireland/i-want-to-invest-in-ireland/
The report made a number of recommendations concerning the governance of the IIP and noted the continuing benefits brought by the scheme. Since then the profile and scale of the applications has continued to evolve, as has the broader international context in which schemes of this type and the risks associated with them are assessed.
When the decision to close the IIP Programme was taken, findings from this report, as well as those from international bodies such as the EU Commission, Council of Europe and OECD on similar investment programmes were taken into account.
