Mr. William O'Dwyer:

I thank the Deputy. There is a series of checks that we carry out on particular investors regarding money-laundering and the public exposure of individuals. Another aspect of carrying out these checks is that given the volume of applications, it is difficult to identify risks that might be there in terms of public policy and the wider inherent risks in a scheme such as this. As my colleagues stated, these are the concerns expressed by the OECD, the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
