Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 November 2023
443. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Justice the current status of IIP applications that were submitted in advance of the February 2023 deadline; the timeline for sports clubs that have submitted valid applications to be informed about the success or otherwise of their applications; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53178/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Government agreed to close the Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) to further applications from 15 February 2023.
The IIP Unit has published an FAQ document concerning the closure of the programme on my Department's Immigration Services website, which will be updated with any further questions arising from the closure, and is available here: www.irishimmigration.ie/faqs-closure-of-the-immigrant-investor-programme-iip/
Due to the exceptionally large number of applications on hand it is not possible to give a timeframe as to when applications will receive a decision, however, I can confirm that all applications will be considered on their own merits and my Department will endeavour to make decisions in a timely manner.
