I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was refused, for reasons provided to the person concerned, in a letter issued on 1 February 2017 advising of the decision.

It is open to any individual to lodge an application for citizenship if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements as prescribed in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 as amended. Detailed information on Irish citizenship and naturalisation is available on the INIS website at www.inis.gov.ie. The website also contains an on-line naturalisation residency calculator which individuals may find of assistance in establishing if the residency requirements are met.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail 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 e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application to INIS on 8 May 2015 for an extension of their student permission. This application was refused on 12 July 2016.

I understand that INIS has received no further correspondence from this applicant since then. I am also informed that the person in question appears, currently, to be illegal in the State. If the person referred to by the Deputy wishes the case to be examined further, then they should write to Unit 1, Residence Division, Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 providing details outlining their current circumstances substantiated by supporting documentation.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned had their status revoked in 2012 following a determination that their asylum application had been based on fraudulent information. The reasons for this were provided to the person, his legal representative and to the UNHCR representatives in Dublin in advance and they were afforded an opportunity to submit representations as to why this measure should not be taken. Consideration was given to all information on file prior to this decision being made.

I understand that the person concerned has a current permission to remain in the State on Stamp 3 conditions which is valid until 6 April 2017. My officials will write to them thereafter regarding their position in the State.

Visa Applications

Ceisteanna (65)

Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

65. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will facilitate a further extension to stamp 1 visa conditions which expire on 11 February 2017, in view of the fact that adequate time was not available to respond to correspondence dated 24 January 2017 which did not arrive until the last day of January and which required a response by 1 February 2017, in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain on 'stamp 1' conditions for six months on 11 August 2016, in order to allow them to apply for an employment permit from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. Documentation was also requested in a letter dated 11th August 2016.

The Deputy might wish to note that the person concerned has not, to date, provided the documentation requested. A further request for this documentation was made on the 24th January 2017. The requested documentation should therefore be submitted to the INIS as soon as possible. Consideration will be given to the renewal of the person's permission to remain in the State on the basis of documentation submitted.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the position remains as set out in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 48 of 26th January 2017.

In addition, I understand that INIS is examining the implications of the recent judgment in Luximon v. Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. In the event that any additional information or clarification is required from the person then INIS will write to them to advise them as to what other information may be required. However, in the mean-time, it can be taken that the person's application will not be determined in accordance with the procedures which applied heretofore.

Naturalisation Applications

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, as per my response to Question No. 94 on 28th September 2016, the processing of the application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy is under consideration. A decision is expected to issue in the coming weeks.

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.

The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been established specifically for this purpose.

It would be advisable to address the original refusal issues and provide any additional information they consider relevant to their application.

Corporation Tax Regime

Ceisteanna (69)

Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

69. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance if the attention of his European colleagues has been drawn to the importance of Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax, which appears to have suddenly become the target for commentators at home and abroad; if adequate cognisance continues to be taken of the isolated geographical location of the economy in the context of access to the centre of Europe; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6644/17]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Freagraí scríofa

At 12.5%, Ireland has one of the most competitive and stable headline corporate tax rates in the OECD.  Our competitive rate of corporation tax has been an important part of our industrial policy since the 1950s, and has attracted real and substantive operations to Ireland since then.

A competitive corporate tax rate is a tool to address the economic limitations that come with being a peripheral country, as compared to larger core countries. Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax rate plays an important role in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to Ireland and thereby increasing employment here.  

In a recent research paper 'Corporate Taxation and Foreign Direct Investment in EU Countries: Policy Implications for Ireland', the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) outlined the importance of the 12.5% rate in attracting FDI. The paper demonstrates that amongst all EU countries, Ireland would be the most sensitive to a change in the corporate tax rate in its ability to secure FDI. An increase in Ireland's statutory corporate tax rate of 1% would be associated with a reduction in its probability of being chosen as a location for FDI projects from non-EU countries by 4.6%.

Furthermore, in October 2015 the OECD published the final reports on their project regarding Base Erosion and Profit Shifiting or BEPS.  I welcomed the publication of the final BEPS reports.  From the beginning, the key aim of the BEPS project has been to better align the right to tax with real economic substance and activity and, as such, the BEPS project is one which aligns with Ireland's own tax strategy.  Ireland has been a strong supporter of the BEPS project and I believe it is the best approach for dealing with aggressive tax planning. Ireland will now play an active part in the work to implement the BEPS recommendations globally.  The post-BEPS environment, which will see companies seek to better align the amount of tax that they pay with their substantive operations, will result in opportunities for Ireland.  The alignment of substance with a competitive rate of tax has long been the cornerstone of our corporation tax policy. 

The ongoing commitment to the 12.5% rate, as stated in the Programme for a Partnership Government, is extremely important for Ireland s economy.   I believe that Ireland's long-term commitment to the 12.5% rate will ensure that we remain highly competitive and will support Ireland's ability to attract and retain investment from around the world.  Our European colleagues are fully aware of our position in relation to this issue.

The table sets out my Department's Budget 2017 employment projections.

Overall, it is forecast that approximately 190,000 net additional jobs will be created over the five year period from 2016 to 2021. For this year, employment growth of 2.1 per cent (almost 45,000 jobs) is projected. For next year, employment gains of 2.1 per cent (approximately 40,000 jobs) are anticipated.  Over the remaining three years of the forecast horizon to 2021, employment growth of 1.6 per cent on average per annum is projected (equivalent to an average of approximately 35,000 jobs per year).

State Aid Investigations

71. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide an update on the European Commission's ruling on Ireland and a company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6448/17]

The European Commission published the Final Decision into the Apple State Aid case in December 2016. This document was sent to Ireland at the end of August 2016.  

Ireland does not accept the Commission's analysis, which is why we have lodged an application with the General Court of the European Union to annul the whole Decision.

Notwithstanding our appeal, Ireland is obliged to comply with the binding Articles of the Final Decision.  This requires that Ireland ensures that Apple is deprived of the benefit of the alleged aid.

As Commissioner Vestager confirmed publically on her visit to Dublin in January 2017, the Commission are satisfied with Ireland's progress to date on recovery.  Work will continue to ensure that the State complies with all our obligations as soon as possible.

Help-To-Buy Scheme

Ceisteanna (72)

John Curran

Ceist:

72. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Finance if he will review the operation of the first-time buyer, help-to-buy scheme; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that only a small number of builders have registered with the Revenue Commissioners for this scheme; if he will amend the scheme to ensure that all first-time buyers of new houses can avail of this scheme and get a tax rebate (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6449/17]

The legislation setting out the payment provisions for the Help to Buy incentive is contained in Section 477C (16) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.  Claimants are required to complete a two-stage online process; an application and then a claim.

First-Time Buyers under the Help to Buy incentive fall into 3 categories as follows:-

1. Claimants who have contracted to purchase, or drawn down the first tranche of their qualifying loan to self-build, their home in the period between 19 July 2016 and 31 December 2016, inclusive.  This category is known as Retrospective Claimants.

2. Claimants who draw down the first tranche of their qualifying loan to self-build their home in the period between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019.

3. Claimants who contract to purchase their home, in the period between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019.

Regarding retrospective claimants, I am advised by Revenue that the claim process does not require the developer to pass information to Revenue.  Instead, retrospective claimants are required to submit supporting documentation including a signed copy of the contract, evidence of their mortgage or mortgage drawdown, and details of the property directly to Revenue.

Regarding claimants who draw down the first tranche of their qualifying loan to self-build their home in the period between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019, I am advised that the information supplied by the claimant will require verification by the claimant's solicitor before any refund is paid. The appropriate refund will be made to the claimant's qualifying loan bank account. Such claims do not require the developer to pass information to Revenue.

Regarding claimants who contract to purchase their home in the period between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019, I am advised that the information supplied by the claimant will require verification by the Revenue-approved qualifying contractor before any refund is paid.  The appropriate refund will be made directly to the qualifying contractor.

I am advised by Revenue that as of 3 February 2017 there have been 114 applications for registration as 'qualified contractors', with 31 of these being fully approved.  Given the number of queries they have received from contractors, Revenue anticipates that the number of approved contractors will continue to increase over coming weeks.

Requiring contractors to register with Revenue under the Help to Buy incentive in advance of processing any claims is an important element to ensure compliance under the scheme and is necessary in order to safeguard public monies being paid under the incentive.  As such, I do not intend to remove this requirement to register.

The Help to Buy scheme is a generous incentive that facilitates the purchase of a new home by a First Time Buyer.  For new builds, the rebate is payable on signing the contract to purchase the property rather than upon completion of the sale.  This means that it is necessary that details of the planning permission and ownership of the land are provided to Revenue.  This information is completely within the control of the builder/developer.  The other key condition is that of tax clearance/tax compliance.  If a contractor is not tax compliant, in order to participate in the scheme, he or she should engage with Revenue to bring his or her tax affairs up to date.

If the Deputy knows of a contractor who is not co-operating with a First Time Buyer to allow them claim any payments under the Help To Buy incentive, he should provide these details to my officials and I will arrange to have this information passed to Revenue.

Tax Reliefs Costs

73. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance the total cost to the State of tax incentives for nursing homes in each of the past five years. [6504/17]

Amharc ar fhreagra

I am advised by Revenue that a wide range of statistical information is available on Revenue's Statistics webpage at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/. In relation to the Deputy's Question, information on the cost of tax relief for investment in private nursing homes can be found in http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/property-reliefs.html  for 2011 to 2014. From provisional data for 2015, the cost of the relief is currently estimated to be in the region of €3.4 million with 130 claims.

Additionally, an exemption from Local Property Tax (LPT) applies to registered nursing homes that are used exclusively for the care of individuals who have been medically certified as suffering from a long-term mental or physical infirmity (the nursing home must be registered under section 49 of the Health Act 2007). The latest Revenue Local Property Tax Statistics for 2016 indicate that about 200 nursing homes availed of this exemption. However, this exemption is not intended to act as a tax incentive but to ensure that, in recognition of their caring/medical aspect vis-à-vis private residential properties, nursing homes are not liable for LPT.  Furthermore, nursing homes may have to pay commercial rates and there is also an LPT exemption available for residential-type properties in respect of which commercial rates are payable to prevent double taxation.

The Deputy may be aware that tax relief is also available to individuals who invest in qualifying nursing homes via the Employment and Investment Incentive (EII).  Information as to the overall cost of the EII is available on Revenue's Statistics webpage but, as data is not collected on a sectoral basis, any cost relating specifically to investments in nursing homes cannot be separately identified.  Individuals may also claim income tax relief at the marginal rate in respect of qualifying nursing home fees.  The annual cost of this relief in the years  2011 to 2014 is as outlined in the following table.  Data for the years 2015 and 2016 is not yet available.

In response to the Deputy, I am advised that due to the significant volume of information sought, having regard to the time period in question and also the applicability to the eighteen bodies under the aegis of this Department, it is not possible within the time allowed to provide all the information sought. 

The table, however, sets out in tabular form the level of expenditure by this Department for each of the years, in as much as it is available, from 2005 to 2016 on photography, including details of the events, campaigns or policies to which this expenditure related, and the company or individual to whom such payments were made.

In relation to the outstanding information, I will arrange for a further reply to be provided within 10 working days of this response, and the further reply shall appear in the Official Report of the Debates.
