Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

Members of the Northern Ireland Firearms Liaison Committee recently met with the Minister of Justice, Mr David Ford to discuss a number of firearms related issues that will be included within a review of the Firearms Order which is due to commence in the Autumn. The forum members took the opportunity to hand over their submission on a banded system for one off/one on firearms. 

The Minister welcomed the work done by the country sports organisations to communicate the need for firearm security both in the home and in the field. However, he was concerned at the number of cases presently coming before him where the lack of firearm security was the main reason for revoking of firearms licences.
