Renewal time!

Nothing here yet either. IWM's idea's not a bad one by the way - according to the Gardai the biggest problem at renewal time is literally just getting the fees paid (with the time of year, they see a lot of people getting sidetracked or going on holiday or just getting swamped on the farm or whatever, and stuff not being paid on time for a lot of folks as a result), so going down early and dropping off the money would mean you don't have to worry about the rush in a few days and might earn a brownie point or two that could make life easier down the road.

Went down this afternoon and paid my fees for my two certs and collected my new certs, when that was done and dusted handed over the application for my new rifle. No hassle the gardai were in good form laughing and jokeing about all the brown enevlopes people were getting through the post..

Picked up my three today. Glad to see 31/07/2009 on the pistol cert. Changed my .22 for a .308 a few weeks ago. SAKO doesnt look the same when its hand written...:D:D:D

Went in, staked out the station until the opened (an hour late, but they opened, so it was better than it could have been.

) and paid my renewal fees, collected the paperwork, nice and handy.

My helpful Super refused to change a swift licence to a 22/250 :rolleyes:

derek_g34 · 24-07-2008 8:28pm

Is it because of the other seventeen guns in your safe?

I wish

rifles = 1 x 22lr, 1 x 220 swift, 1 x 17 hmr, shotgun = 1 x 12g, pistol = 1 x 22lr revlover.

really annoying thing my mate changed a 204 ruger into a 308

Shotgun (unlimited

) and rifle in post today.
have to find the €63 now so no ammo this week.

Our man in Havana · 25-07-2008 11:05am

Question on completing the shotgun renewal form. Do I have to complete the wildlife declarations at the foot of the form?

Jonty · 25-07-2008 11:26am

When do ye lads actually pay the licences? We get a month's grace off the local cops here.

Grizzly 45 · 25-07-2008 12:06pm

Did the super know it was a swift or was it just down as a .22?

Ye wha?
That'd be twelve firearms and a pint to cry in afterwards. The fees this year were meant to be €22 last I heard...

On the day. Never heard of a grace period. Legally, there's no provision for one so far as I know.

boc121 · 25-07-2008 5:07pm

Five arrived today, i've only got four guns one is for a .22 semi i traded last month. Might see if i can keep the cert and put something nice in the safe:D

fish slapped · 25-07-2008 5:30pm

chem · 25-07-2008 8:08pm

Got mine today. Two to my address and the other to my family home address. I told them last year that this happened. So nice to see they took it on board and then went for tea:rolleyes:

kowloon · 25-07-2008 8:15pm

Mine arrived today, still no sign of the rifle that I applied for 18 or so months ago.

Antique, well over the calibre restriction, (although there was no such thing when I bought it) they can refuse me if I cause too much trouble. The DOJ had no problem allowing the import, but the Gardai have yet to issue the authorisation.

did your fao or super ever send you a letter after three months

they can refuse me if I cause too much trouble
you are joking right :eek:

thehair · 26-07-2008 2:14pm

noting in mayo yet steve

kowloon · 27-07-2008 5:37am

Not a sign of a single piece of typed paper about it.
I'm moving to England in Sept. for a while, I'll be back and forth s I'm keeping my stuff here but I might get the dealer holding the rifle to send it to me in England where I don't need a licence. The outstanding authorisation is getting in the way of me applying for a .22 for the bunnies.
If I push on the 3 month rule they could just tell me they're not accepting it as an antique and it's of high calibre so good luck with the minister!

kerryman12 · 27-07-2008 6:10pm

My 3 turned up Friday, Just got them to-day.

Regards

johngalway · 27-07-2008 7:12pm

Mine came Thursday I think. Renewals for two rifles and a shotgun.

Remind me again, I'll be paying by postal order, can I lump them all into one PO or do I need three seperate PO's?

kerryman12 · 27-07-2008 7:39pm

well i always pay by cheque and lump them all together so it should be the same for the PO, i guess

cavan shooter · 28-07-2008 11:32pm

I went and renewed my certs on Saturday recieved them on Friday 26th No problem.... paid by cheque €75 rifle three shotguns, I had a pleasant chat with the guard about shooting, hunting clays (very interested in going to Courtlough she shot before and her brothers are keen shooters. Some of the other members of the club went in over the w/e and everyone was complementary about the Guard on duty etc

Three phone calls to me and a couple of texts of abuse today(tonite) from other lads wanting to know why I didn't tell them that the licences where to be paid in the Post Office:mad:

Now am I missing something here, or did this new Guard on duty, for want of a better word "make a mistake" and turn away a number of lads trying to pay their licence:eek:
