Anybody know what date these guys are on

You'd want to be sending it in now to make sure and have it for next year:rolleyes:.

As I started this thread all I say is get them as early as possible.

One year I put in my app the first week in March.
And again I was one of the first to get the license that year as well. And the postman delivers at 9am :D:D

Won't make a difference how early you send it in if they only start processing in August - it's not going to speed up the process at all. The only difference this will make is they will be updating people saying they are on April 1st rather than August 1st.
You got yours early because you got it in before everyone else, not because you got it in in March.

Eh.......Erm .... exactly


I would agree that there seems to be a problem this year, but since I started I have always sent in my application during the month of March and received the license with in the first few weeks of August and this year is no exception, arrived 7th August. Even my first application using a first time permission (no previous permits issued for it) was timely processed and returned by mid august.
Any of the lads I know who sent them in later in the summer months this year are still waiting and those who sent them in early have received them early.


I know that many lads have to wait for Coillte leases for their applications which can push them into the later summer months, but lads using private permissions should surely be applying as soon as the applications are out.

I think you're misreading my post. I'm implying that if if everyone gets applications in in March, it means you won't be the head of the queue any more so you won't be getting it in early August as per previous years.

Is there an official explanation for the delays? Can't be as simple as extra applications surely, or is it genuinely because of extra checks being performed?

Got you....my bad


As to an explanation, I don't know, but can somebody actually confirm that they only start processing the applications in August or is it that they only start posting them out in August? Therefore any early applications are processed but not sent until august.


I am just looking over the calendar for August 2015 and see that the bank holiday weekend was 1st to the 3rd, given that the office opened on Tuesday and I received my licence on Friday morning of the 7th, it is reasonable to assume that licences where printed, addressed, franked and posted within 1 -2 working days, then sorted and delivered to my door in Dublin within another a day or so.
This time frame would leave very little time for my application to be 'processed' and would in fact, allowing for a two day turn around by the post office, be near impossible if they only started on the 4th of August!


Any way food for thought.

Grizzly 45

Just asking for a friend who has a let on this area...Has anyone been refused a deer liscense in this area this season.Due to "over hunting in the last season"

leica

Haven't heard anything about that grizzly , nice few refused around the mt Leinster area , couldn't come up with 100 acres , they must of clamped down a bit this year , the same lads in question got the permit with 20 -40 acres on previous years
