Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
No. The review takes place after two years, and an immigration permission is granted for a further three years. Therefore, the vast majority of applications are only coming up for review at this stage because, looking at the profile, the numbers from 2012 to 2016 were very small. It is only in the latter half of 2016 that the numbers expanded. Therefore, we are only at the point of reviewing those immigration permissions at this point.
