I am writing to you in connection with the Immigrant Investor Programme. I am seeking records in relation to the Endowment side of the Programme but more specifically the Philanthropic Donations that were awarded to G.A.A. projects i.e. G.A.A. County Boards, G.A.A. clubs and all other G.A.A. entities. The IIP offers four investment options for potential investors. 1. Enterprise Investment: I do not want any records in connection with Enterprise Investments. 2. Investment Fund: I do not want any records in connection with Investment Funds. 3. Real Estate Investment Trusts: I do not want records in connection with Real Estate Investment Trusts. 4. Endowments: I am not seeking any records in connection with philanthropic donations awarded to projects in arts, health, culture or education in Ireland. Endowments: I am focussing on the philanthropic donations that were awarded to projects in connection with the sports side of the Programme but solely in the case of the G.A.A. I am not seeking any records in relation to any other sport e.g. athletics, boxing, cricket, rugby, soccer, tennis etc. Endowments: l would appreciate if you would supply me with the record of the names of ati G.A.A. projects (G.A.A. County Boards, G.A.A. clubs and all other G.A.A. entities) that have been awarded philanthropic donations and the amount of money that was awarded to same since the inception of the IIP in 2012. When the Immigrant Investor Programme was set up in 2012, Sport wasn't included in the Programme. I would appreciate if you would let me know the date it was added to the Endowments category of the IIP.
