To apply candidates must have a net worth of more than €2 million and invest significantly in an Irish enterprise, an investment fund, a real estate fund or a donation to a project of public benefit.
To date more than a billion euro has been invested through the scheme.
The most recent example is Louth GAA which has managed to raise €14.8 million from foreign investors to put their stadium project back on track.
