Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

We wish to inform all our members that following representations  and support from the Department of Justice and the Firearms Policy Unit, the Garda Commissioner recognised the serious problems being encountered by the shooting community – in particular the gun trade –  he has now agreed to allow the substitution of a firearm on EXTENDED firearm certificates ONLY.

This will only be allowed for Non Restricted shotguns and Rifles and the substitutions will only be valid for the duration of the extended licence. All Superintendents and Chief Superintendents have been informed of this decision this evening 21st October 2009.
