Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
I was not at the meeting. I am happy to clarify this with the Central Bank, and we are meeting it tomorrow as a follow-up on this. I had hoped that meeting would have taken place before this committee meeting. I am happy to update the committee after that meeting. Our understanding is that the Central Bank's concern was about its limited role in licensing funds. We are satisfied that we get confirmation from the agent or investor that the investment has been made before we grant an immigration permission. We are happy to talk to the Central Bank and go through this in more detail.
