At the outset, it is important to note that, as Minister, I do not comment on individual Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) applications.

The 'applicant' in the IIP process is the proposed investor and not the project owner. The State has no responsibility in relation to the delivery of any project or the performance of an investment under the Programme; these are a private matter between the investor and the project owner. It is a matter for the project owner to ensure delivery on an approved project within the timeframe set out in its own business plan.

The IIP Unit of my Department communicates with projects seeking to benefit from investments made in connection with an IIP application in relation to how the terms of the programme apply to their particular project. The Unit also engages with projects and monitors them for their compliance with the IIP requirements.
