Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
456. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice is she aware of a charity (details supplied) in Kells, County Meath, which was a beneficiary of the Immigrant Investment Programme; if she is aware that a magazine has highlighted issues in relation to the appropriateness of her adjudicating on that application and more; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29638/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 a FAQ concerning the closure on my Department's website, which will be updated with any further arising questions from the closure, and is available here: www.irishimmigration.ie/faqs-closure-of-the-immigrant-investor-programme-iip/
As Minister, I do not comment on individual IIP applications.
My Department is committed to ensuring that all applications will be examined on their own merits and will endeavour to conclude all decisions in a timely manner. However, given the exceptionally large number of applications on hand, it is not possible at this time to give an indication as to when individual applications will receive a decision.
