FCP Notice re: Firearms Act roll out
Following advice from the Attorney General that Statutory Instruments giving effect to the firearms act amendments must apply to full sections of the Act and not to part sections, it is now the case that some of the planned roll out of the new firearms code will be delayed at least until the enactment of the Firearms Miscellaneous Bill which is due for publication on July 3rd under the Programme for Government. As a result, the intended classification of restricted firearms will not now be applied on May 1st 2008 as planned.

Rathdrum Authorisation PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Dennehy   
Thursday, 08 February 2007
As of today, Rathdrum Rifle and Pistol Club are now authorised by the Gardai for the use of .22cal Rifle and Pistol as well as Air Rifle and Pistol on our range in Rathdrum. The authorisation covers the use of these firearms in the prone, kneeling and standing positions as well as benchrest. The authorisation states that the range 'comprehensively meets the requirements'.

Coupled with the introduction of electronic targets (the first range in Ireland to use these), this authorisation now allows us to run all the ISSF short range disciplines as well as NSRA 25 yard and benchrest 25 yard.

We are now waiting for the go-ahead from Wicklow to re-open on foot of this authorisation.

It's been a long and winding road, but at last the end is in sight.
