Minister for Justice and Equality

My Department has operated the Immigrant Investor Programme since April 2012. This programme has been open for applications since 2012 and would appear to cover what the Deputy is seeking. Detailed guidelines and application materials are available from the investor and entrepreneur page of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service website www.inis.gov.ie.
