whats firearm components need to be registered in Ireland?

Here in the states the receiver is serialised and as a result is considered the firearm.
Is it the same in Ireland? IE can you legally have firearm parts (barrels, stocks, trigger parts, magazine bodies etc) without having to be licensed for them?

Technically NO,you must have a firearms cert for the firearm which they relate to.But when you have the firearms cert,you can have whatever parts you want for it,excluding barrels in a different calibre,or under the EU designated legal lengths.

Just wondering does a second reciever require a new cert, if its the same type ad calibre?

Yes it does. It's considered another firearm and usually will have a serial number stamped on it.

URGENT - RE THE RENEWAL OF FIREARMS LICENSES

We are informed that a large number (the majority) of those people who have had their licenses extended to October 31st have not yet submitted their renewal applications to their local Garda stations. Two months have now passed since licenses were extended. The letter of extension provided for the possibility to renew within three months prior to expiry of the extension but it seems that many people have put completing the form on the long finger while some have also been given misleading information by some Gardai to the effect that they cannot renew until the end of the period of extension i.e. 31st October. This latter information is completely incorrect. Lest there be any doubt whatsoever, renewals should be submitted to your Garda station as soon as possible. If applicants encounter this response at their local Garda station, they should insist on submitting their applications and refer the Garda concerned to the Firearms Policy Unit at Garda HQ who will confirm that licence renewals should be submitted without delay.
Failure to submit until the end of the month, or even close to it, will in all probability result in a delay in your license being processed as there will then be a rush of applications. There will be no point in contacting the NARGC office as there will be nothing we can do. We simply cannot get everyone pushed to the top of the list for processing. The new system is still ironing out the wrinkles and this is likely to continue for some time.
Please be aware, it is in your own interests to get your renewals in as fast and as early as possible!

As a rule of thumb use the rule that any part which is essential to the functioning of a firearm is to be looked upon as a firearm. Obvious exceptions are laser sights, nightvision sights and sound supressors for use on a firearm. These were always subject to permission.
