    18 weeks and counting for rifle licence, no end in sight, I wonder if this is a new strategy on the Gardai's behalf ?

    No. It's an old and well-used one.

    I got the licence on Friday night, I had applied on October 1st. Apparently 8 weeks is nothing in LS/OY . I was told that 8 weeks is very fast for them.

    It only took 3 weeks for my shotgun licence last April (Meath) thats why I was so surprised it took 4 months for the .22 licence.
