    Some Supers are handing out letter instead of the "S" on the license. Don't worry about it for the moment.

    Wait until the license arrives, then go to your FO, and request a reprint of the license with the "S" on it.

    While the letter stands as your authorisation for the mod if the license does not have the "S" then it means it was not run through PULSE. So if stopped by any Garda outside your district and they done a check on PULSE you would not show up as being authorised. So you need the letter on you at all times, and any Garda would have to ring the station to confirm, and if your FO was not there................................. wel you get the picture.


    Only recently my Father got a letter, and no "S" on his license even though he had it on his old license. I went back to my FO, explained the above to him, and told him if he was not sure to ring the FPU to confirm (they really don't like the letter thing, and are demanding that station issue the authroisation as an "S"). A week later he got another license with the "S" on it. Then when mine arrived it hd the "S" on it and no letter.

    Letter granting license arrived this morning. Woohoo, I'd imagine the "S" won't be on it.

    3 Months have passed since yesterday and still I have not received my licenses for my 2 Pistols. I have spoken to a number of the CS staff up to last month who really have'nt been able to tell me anything. I spoke to my Solicitor yesterday who is preparing a sequence of actions.

    Does anyone who what the f@ck are Chief Superintendents doing with these applications on their desks?

    @knockon - are you sure your application is on Super's desk? Do what I did - go to your local station and make sure your application is no longer there (you may have to do it a few times ;)) and then call super's office, ask for the person dealing with FCs and politely explain the situation... Again - it may not be easy to find the right person but you have to be patient ;))
