But then you'd have to apply to them instead of the local super G17, which is the same problem.

The problem remains, granted, just a FYI re: the Chief Supers.

To be honest if someone can't take the time to fill out a form correctly, maybe they shouldn't have a firearm at all. If they're unsure or the form is in some way ambiguous, wait for the guidelines, seek clarification, what is the panic for?!

While most here have a good grasp of the new set up a LOT of ppl generally DONT,to say they dont deserve to have a gun is just silly
Spoke to two ppl i know earlier and both thought they had a new licence already and shocked when i (tried)explained,i would urge ppl to contact friends,family and neighbours to check that they know what to do
Nobody should be beaten by this,i also think that the lack of info from relevant departments about this new system is nothing short of a DISGRACE,apart from Boards.ie(and thanks to all) i for one would be completely oblivious.

I reckon a firearm is a huge responsibility and someone who hasn't the wherewithal to seek out this info should perhaps take up another interest, The onus is on the shooter. I recently had an SVI shooter ask "what centre fire means", that's my point, some who have, got them too readily/easily. But we'll agree to differ on this one.

They really should have waited to publish all the forms/info at once.

When the SI gets changed, it will highlight another issue (namely that the handgun ban part of the act is dependant specifically on SI 21 of 2008; and if you bring in a new SI to supersede that, you get the interesting situation where a new SI (call it SI X of 2009) describing the restricted list, but the CJ(MP)A2009 refering to a now-superseded SI.

There's a little known (at least to me until recently) piece of legislation called the Interpretation Act of 2005. (It replaced Interpretation Acts going back to the 19th century).

And it says:

(2) Where an enactment (“former enactment”) is repealed and re-enacted, with or without modification, by another enactment (“new enactment”), the following provisions apply:
(f) reference in any other enactment to the former enactment shall, with respect to a subsequent transaction, matter or thing, be read as a reference to the provisions of the new enactment relating to the same subject-matter as that of the former enactment

“enactment” means an Act or a statutory instrument or any portion of an Act or statutory instrument;
