GAA invests €5m in Páirc Uí Chaoimh through Immigrant Investor Programme

Although the programme closed in 2023, approvals were still made after that date for several projects received before the deadline

"We’re investing another €5m in the building (Páirc Uí Chaoimh) in the next couple of years through IIP funding," Cork GAA chief executive Kevin O’Donovan said.

Cork GAA plans to invest €5m in Páirc Uí Caoimh through the Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP), which provides a pathway for residency in Ireland for investing in infrastructure projects.

The Government closed the programme for new applications in February 2023. Introduced in 2012, the IIP is a pathway for non-EEA nationals to secure immigration permission on the basis of long-term investment in a project approved by the Department of Justice and other stakeholders.
