with my local fo, i rang and asked before putting in the license, he said he wanted a deer hunting permit with the license, might be best to ring and ask him first.

Buy a serial number

Put serial number on application including calibre/makers name and grain weight

When you get NPWS permit show to Gardaí was the traditional route.



I went different route, joined target club and shot Targets in early naughties, applied for Permit year or so later from NPWS and got it

I've been looking in2 this myself lately and have been told the same as what tack said, pick out your rifle and put a down payment on it, then apply to NPWS for your stalking permit which you need the guns serial number and calibre and what grain bullets you'll use along with written permission from a landowner and his folio number, then when you get this you apply fir your firearms license.

on the letter that comes with the application form it says that they start to issue permits from august, does that mean i would have to wait until august to apply to the guards for a lisence.
am a bit worried as the guards in my area know how to take there time in issueing lisences.:(

thanks for the info lads

You could do as a lad up the road from me done. He paid a deposit on a 6.5, applied for the deer license, was passed and asked for a letter from the NPWS to state that he would be receiving a license to hunt deer in August, then applied for the rifle license, got the license, went shooting.

Apply for your permit and contact the npws and ask the to send you a letter stating that your permit has being granted and will be issued in august, Then hand that in to your station with all the rest of your paper work in order and have a chat and explain your case that you need the rifle for the first of september and in most cases they will have your paper work done and just be waiting to see your permit . After that they will fast track it and you will have your firearm licence back in no time . It have worked for a few friends of mine .
