    Good afternoon to all,

    Have any of you received your letters of extension from your respective superintendents yet??

    Word on the bush telegraph has it that we should be in possession of them very soon.

    First person to get one, please post here ;)

    I'll second that:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 983 ✭✭✭daveob007


    no news here either.
    I AGREE THAT THE 1ST PERSON TO GET ONE SHOULD POST IT HERE


  • Registered Users Posts: 337 ✭✭moose112

    I wouldn't be rushing into the Garda station to ask. Speaking to the fo in the pub the other night and he laughed, said they are usually the last to know what the govt. are intending and they'll pick things up along the way. Appears they get no instruction either until the last minute. He's usually fairly reliable/helpful. Might have to tell him to log on to boards for info


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,920 ✭✭✭Dusty87


    I was in with the fo and seen the new reapplication forms. Never asked her about renewal letters. Id say ther waitin til every station gets them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 337 ✭✭moose112


    Not sure if this the right thread or not.
    I was in Galway over the weekend while up there i decided to price around a rifle i am interested in.
    While in one shop i was telling the guy that was working there that my local FO ain't giving out or taking inapplication forms. He found this funny almost wouldn't believe me telling me that there no problem still getting a licence in Galway.

    Was just wondering what it's like around the rest of the country.

    All applications are on the new forms from now on apparently. They allegedly go live on the DOJ website at the weekend.

    Allegedly.

    No extensions to European Firearms Passes yet either. A bit scary for anyone going to Germany on 14th August :eek::

    I would have thought the Garda website as it's a Garda function.

    Once you get your extension letter, you'll be able to extend your EFP as well. By rights it should only be extended as far as your licence and when you get your new three year beastie you can then extend your EFP for three years as well.

    Happy Daze :D

    As told by a Garda. I wanted to apply for a shotgun, told it's out of their hands, for now. Maybe they aren't fully informed themselves, nothing new there.

    We'll see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 329 ✭✭meathshooter


    I have been informed from a reliable that will will have the extension letters by next week 3 months min extension


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭rrpc


    I'll just repeat my earlier post :D

    And add that the first person should also scan it and post it here as well (leaving out personal info of course).

    New forms will have to be available on or before the 1st August. Failing that, anyone who tries to renew on the first available day after getting their letter could be in trouble at the other end of their extension.

    So I went to wet my appetite today at a nearby wildlife park...... :D

    No sign of forms on Garda website.

    Went into local station yesterday to apply for a new shotgun license - they simply used the old form.

    Grizzly45 gets the prize :D

    Thanks Grizzly.

    Now for the forms, Garda website doesn't even seem to have one place for forms, they're spread out all over the place attached to articles etc.

    In fact there's not even a link for firearms :(

    Shouldn't be on the DoJ website as it's a Garda function.

    Anyway Grizzly's letter says they will be (are) on the Garda website.
