Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
The total, between nursing homes and social housing, is approximately 25%, but that is for 2016. The data was for 2016. The current breakdown has increased significantly over the past year. I can get those figures for the committee. Grouping together nursing homes, primary care centres and social housing, of the total of 708 applications since the start of the scheme, 326 have amounted to €244 million, and there has been €507 million of investment. In terms of investment and the number of applications, roughly half are now in those areas. That is representative of the total since the scheme started. More recently, that percentage has been higher.
