    I handed in my 3 renewals into the Garda station at the same time - O/U, Semi auto & .22LR rifle. All went smoothly & after 2 weeks I received the 3 renewals on the same day to be paid for at the post office .

    I went to the post office & paid the three renewals at the same time. About 10 days later 2 licences arrived on the same day - O/U & .22LR rifle. No sign of the semi-auto licence. It's not a restricted firearm.....fires 3 shots (1 in breech & 2 in magazine).

    Thats was roughly one month ago .....still haven't received the third licence.

    Just wondering if others with multiple applications which were renewed & paid for at the same time received all the licences in the post at the same time or did they come in dribs & drabs?

    If I want to enquire about it's delay is it the local Garda Station I enquire at?

    Mine came together. When you have them paid for there should be no issues as they have been granted.
    Maybe its lost in the post?

    I think i was waiting 6-8 weeks for 4 grant letters to come through.
    Got 2 then waited 6-8 weeks and got the others but once i payed for them as they came in in had the licence within a week.

    I had a similar problem. Ended up the new postman did not know the address of my place can be named as either of 2 townslands. So he returned the license to An Post in Clare.

    Rang the FPU and they chased it up. 7 days later i had it.

    Thing i still do not understand is all my other licenses (7 of them) came with the same address, so i don't know how he got confused on the last one.

    Ring the helpline for An Pos in Clare. If that fails ring the FPU and they will chase it down. Its a serious matter, license going missing, and they are quick to sort it.

    I can't 100% remember, but I think all mine came at the same time.
