    Just stuck my grant letter in the post off to Kilrush there. Says to expect a 7-day turnaround. Is this accurate? And what do the new licences look like??!?

    mine was bang on 7 days....
    the licences are credit card size and come with a plastic cover like what you getwith your drivers licence..

    Cheers RRPC, sorry Rovi! There's so much sh1te on here lately (again), I've half given up on the place.
    So, a quick one regarding the grant letter... if I want to go shoot in UCD on Saturday, am I treading shaky ground with an expired extension and nothing but a copy of my Grant notice letter?!?

    You have a licence now, the same as you had one on the 1st August last year except you hadn't collected it/hadn't arrived at Garda Station etc.

    Did you get all panicky last 1st August? ;)

    If you really, really want to be safe, get your Super to issue a 2(3)(a) permit for you for a week.

    Though he'll probably tell you to p1ss off and stop annoying him :D
