    No. Permissions are kept on file, so they don't need them again. It's always useful to have copies of your permissions in case the originals are lost.

    Each firearm has a separate licence, so you have to wait for the new one. In any case shotgun and rifle licences have different fees, so you can't mix and match.

    You cannot have the firearm until a licence has issued. Sometimes the Gardai can give you a cover note to act as licence until the properly issued one comes through.

    But you'll have to ask at your local station for that.

    Well I wouldn't bring it home until I had at least a cover note. Buying off an individual is no different from buying off a dealer, you have to have a licence for it before you can take possession.

    After all you could be refused the licence. :mad:
