Sad day for Laois shooters

doyle61

Went into the Garda bks today to sort out a few things with the FAO and was told he's after retiring during the week. Usually when we read of threads involving the lisancing of firearms it's usually of someone's bad experiences but I have to say I've had nothing but good experiences in relation to the gards here in Laois.
Some of ye might know John Munnolly through his work in the nargc and know that he's a true hunter and sportsman and a gentleman.
From a personal point of view ild like to thank John for everything he's done for me down the years and ild like to wish him a long and happy retirement

The man was a shining example for all the other FAO. He went above and beyond to help lads out. A big loss for lads in Laois. Wish him all the best in his retirement.

John has helped me out numerous times with licences he will be a massive loss to the gardai and shooters alike an absolute gentleman to deal with even though i probably annoyed him more than once.Happy retirement John.

I fecking knew i'd jinx it. Only said the other day on another thread about licenses that if my FO ever retired we'd need to do a whip around, and pay for him to stay on.

He was a complete professional, and a pleasure to deal with. He knew his firearms, and as a keen shooter himself was very easy to talk to. He will be badly missed, and not easily replaced but i hope that his replacement has spent some time around John, and picked up on his ability to run not only a tight ship, but and efficient one.

Happy retirement John.

This guy sounds like a great guy. Hopefully his replacement will be as good!

Just noticed this thread and have to add to the thanks to John for all his work over the years.

Best of luck and hope he enjoys his retirement.
