That all sounds plain and simple and straightforward.

Which is pretty much why I have absolutely zero faith that it's what's going to happen!

Oh the cynicism; in one so young..

Cynicism that's a learned response to events rrpc

I have 4 firearms, do you think they'll have the brains to send me all the notices together or have me up and down all bloody year? Also we'll have the busy body postmistress knowing how many guns we have,not a good idea. To be honest i dont like my FAO knowing how many i have:p

You should have brought that to the FCP. They'd never have thought of it.

Guys,

I spent about an hour in with my local Sgt last night. He told me the following:

The 3 year licences could possibly be rolled out this August depending on a few glitgs being sorted out. If not it will defo happen next year. He already has the new forms which showed me.

When this happens we will all get a letter of extension which will vary in duration for person to person, e.g I.ll get 3 months, Joe Soap will get 6 months and bobby lee will get 9 months. After which they will roll out the 3 year licences (99euro a pop) This he tells me will be a seamless process which is being designed to cut down on administration and not a instrument to be used to wreak havoc within the shooting fraternity. (makes sense, hope it works)

The one thing he did say which might upset some is that he has been told from on high is that ALL pistol licences will be not be renewed regardless of when they were issued and what calibre they are.

This man is not Anti-guns at all. I can only say that he has always been as helpful as possible to me regarding firearms. so this is not one man expressing a personal wish.

Thats the problem with new procedures and no explanation of how, when and under what criteria they will be inacted. Lack of consistancy in peoples information. While Hezz700 has all the info above, most of which i'm sure is proper and correct, my FO on Saturday told me that he has heard nothing of the new 3 year licence rollout. Not calling hezz700 or anyone else a liar i thought myself they would be out this year. He told me that he has not been trained, updated or even informed of the new 3 year licence rollout, its procedures or payment methods. He said he was in contact with Dublin on Thursday in relation to another matter and they told him they would be starting to print this years standard 1 year licence on Monday (today).

Again lads i'm not saying that what i was told is right and everyone else is wrong. My point is that some areas are told the new licences will be out this year others are told it won't be for at least another year. My own gun club has issued us all with an explanation as to how the new licence rollout will occur and it is allmost word for word the same as above. So they seem fairly confident the change over will happen this year.

My attitude now is to sit and wait to see what happens. If its 1 year or 3 then so be it. With regards to the handgun renewals again there is so much speculation and hearsay that i'm just waiting to see what happens, although whether the new licences come out this year or next this new thing of having to re-apply for all firearms licences (for the first time only) does not sit well. To me it seems a sneaky or backhanded way for the Gardai/DoJ to cut out all (in their opinion) unsavory calibres and makes, eg. handguns, etc. by simply refusing a new licence on some outlandish technicallity/reason.

Maybe they will issue the standard licence and then later this year begin the new 3 year licence application/changeover system.

What makes me laugh is that the government cant even get the driving licence situation sorted and now they're attempting to get this right...:rolleyes:

From the NARGC website today (3/7/09)

Following intensive discussions between the NARGC and the Department of Justice in the wake of the announcement to the Firearms Consultative Panel that the new 3 year licence fee would likely be about €99, the fee has now been set at €80. This represents an almost 20% reduction in what was originally intended. The scale of this achievement, which has been secured in the face of massive increases and expenditure cuts across all sectors, should not be underestimated. The new fee was confirmed to the NARGC today, July 3rd 2009.

The forms and information aren't up on the Garda website yet but they'll be there for 1 August for renewals and new applications.

It'll cost you €80 for a three year license.

You'll be able to pay for it at most post office counters or through the post.
