The three year licence and the training licence for juniors have now been commenced. The fees have been set at €80 for the standard licence (all firearms) and €40 for the training licence. The clubs SI has also been signed into law, but the ranges SI has not yet been signed. Other sections of the firearms acts are in the process of being commenced and we will announce details as they come to hand.

The notices for firearms licence extension are in the process of being printed, and the first ones should have already been posted. This process is expected to continue until Friday 31st July and everyone should have their extension notices by Tuesday 4th August. As the first ones to be extended will be for restricted firearms, we are advising all our members with restricted firearms to commence the new application process immediately they receive their notices. If your local station does not have the new application forms, you should ensure that this fact is noted at Garda level.

All the new forms are now available for download from our documents section.

Dermot Ahern Announces Introduction of Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009

Mr. Dermot Ahern, T.D., Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, has announced the signing into law of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009.

Minister Ahern said: “This Act is about halting the emergence of a gun-culture in Ireland. Experience in other countries shows us that any relaxation of controls on gun ownership or registration very quickly results in dramatic growth in firearms with many longer term negative downstream consequences. I will not allow that happen on my watch.”

Sean Baldwin of the Defence Forces Shooting Team won the Wilkinstown 50m prone rifle shoot on the 5th of July held in Dublin Rifle Club with a score of 580. Second place went to Dave Cooney of the East Coast Shooting Club and third place was taken by Mike Dunne of Dublin University Rifle Club.

The match was well attended with 18 entries and scores were very respectable considering the tricky weather conditions. The class contest was decided with the 4 highest strings from each competitor counting and this produced some very close results with 2 class medals being divided on a 3 string countback! The 15 euro cash prize for each class winner was taken by Sean Baldwin, Daniel Fleming, Dave Cooney and Pavlina Mikova. Congratulations to all medal and prize winners.

A special thank you to J.K. Walsh and Alan Boothman of Dublin Rifle Club who greatly assisted W.T.S.C. in organising the event and also for the use of their shooting facilities. Thank you also to Dick Stapleton for acting as range officer for the entire day and to Dave Cullen of R.R.P.C. for his kind donation.
