Just to add can you pay for 2 licences shotgun and rifle with the 1 cheque or do you pay seperately. I know they dont accept cash or brown envelopes.:D

My father and I have always paid cash, never been a problem so far, but you just never know. Probably sods law when we go down this time to pay up they will be saying we dont take cash. Lets wait and see ...

The three year licence isn't due in this year.
And cash has to be accepted, being legal tender and all (and there being nothing in the law about form of payment).
However, as was pointed out in the FCP conference, accepting cash at the front desk of the station causes all manner of problems for the Gardai - because it's now public money and thus lots of accounting pops up. It can wind up signed for/signed over about six times before it reaches the Superintendent alone. In fact, it probably costs half as much in garda time as it collects.
So keep paying in cash and maybe they'll farm it out to the post office with the TV and dog licences (or the county council with the driving licences or the Department with the amateur radio and pilot's licences) a bit quicker

Something like that PD, the usual is that you get a letter or a phone call to say your licence is ready, you wander down to the station, pay over your licence fee for the coming year and they hand you your licence and away you go.

Nope. They say next year, but I suspect the real answer is "whenever PULSE gets modified to deal with it".

As above, it's cheaper for everyone except those with "subsequent" shotguns.

Merged from Target Shooting (again).

As above, 3 year license isn't happening this year and then there's no increase except for owners of "subsequent" shotguns.

This year should be the same as last year.

I got two brown envelopes waiting for me when I get home.
One thing I need to do is re-new my Moderator permission.
On my letter of permission from my Super he had a condition that
I need to renew that each year too.

Hmm, nothing here yet. I'll head in tonight. They never did tell me I'd gotten my licence, so won't count on them to tell me to renew it.
