    The licence is printed in dublin as far as I no. It should only take a few days for a substitution. Id be ringing the station if I were you.

    As your local lad said there was nothing to do his end, then ask the other end!

    Firstly i believe the licenses are printed by An Post in Clare as per the payments details on your grant letter. I cannot see An Gardai printing the licenses in Dublin, sending them to clare to be distributed from there.

    Secondly any Garda with a knowledge of the PULSE system can check your details and applicaion status. This includes your local Garda. He can do it from your station and the people in Dublin will only have access to the same information as your local Garda and thats whats on PULSE.

    Licences are fully processed locally and then batch printed. I had huge hassle with one until I got talking to someone I knew. Processed within 10 mins and it arrived two days later. Also it was a sub from .177 to .270!!!!!! Luck or what!!

    just out of interest do you have to pay the 80 euro again when you do a substitution
