Minister Dermot Ahern Outlines Handgun Ban

The Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern has outlined new proposals to seriously curtail the licensing of handguns in the state. The full text of his announcement can be found here.

The NTSA has no further details on how exactly this new regime will be implemented, but wish to point to the following paragraph in the Minister's statement "The Minister is prepared to make very limited exceptions in relation to Olympic sports only." Until we have further information, we are advising our members not to initiate any license applications for the present.

The Minister has also specified that radical tightening of the procedures for licensing handguns will be adopted and we assume that these will also apply to our members when they are published. We will advise you should any further details become available.

One of Wilkinstown's best Juniors, Damien Fagan, won the Air Rifle Grand Prix match during the GB Juniors International in Bisley. This little snippet comes from the NSRA magazine, the Rifleman...

Congratulations to Damien and to his coaches, Matt Fox and Geoff Cooney, and to Leslie and Marie who have put so much into Damien's training, on this excellent success - may this be the first of many!
