I can confirm that my Department has been working on new immigration schemes in the area of entrepreneurship and investment. As I indicated in my contribution to Dail debate on the launch of a short term visa waiver programme for visitors travelling to Ireland from the UK, I believe there is scope for my Department to play a more proactive role in the national recovery effort and the area of entrepreneurship and investment is a case in point. I expect to receive recommendations in this area in early course.
