Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Immigrant Investor Programme and International Protection Applications: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
As I mentioned earlier, we have significantly moved the focus to social housing, primary healthcare centres and nursing facilities. While there is a certain amount of job creation in the construction phase, their primary focus is no longer on job creation but on fulfilling a need and requirement of the State. We consulted our colleagues in the Departments of Housing, Planning and Local Government and Health on these matters before we moved in that direction.
