I want to touch on the immigrant investor programme, or cash for visas or golden visas as it was more widely known. It is fair to say it was controversial from the very start. It is also fair to say there were some benefits for community-led projects in particular. My question is about oversight and transparency. The Department was tasked with approving the scheme and with oversight of the scheme. Some documents were required. Will the Department confirm that three documents in particular were received from each and every individual involved in the scheme? These documents are proof of the legally required minimum wealth of €2 million, a statement of character from the policing authority in the person's home region and a due diligence report from a reputable risk management agency. Did the Department receive copies of these documents from each applicant?
