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.

General Election 2007 Candidate Questionnaire PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Dennehy   
Saturday, 19 May 2007
In addition to the Party Questionnaire, the NTSA has also sent the following Questionnaire to the individual candidates in the General Election next week. We will post responses in this article as they come in. We would urge our members to bear the positions of their local candidates in mind when considering their votes next Thursday, and indeed to contact their local candidates to seek their positions on Olympic Target Shooting and to seek their support for our sport in the future.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the time at the moment to acquaint myself
sufficiently with these issues.

I feel I would be doing you a disservice to respond to your
questionnaire without having done the necessary research.

I cant open the pdf to answer...can you send in word format. I will be making my own response to this document and basing my answers on my own position and not on the basis of what the Labour Party might say.
I represent a rural constituency and that would reflect the fact that many of my friends and neighbours hold gun licences..
If you can send on the questionaire again I would be delighted to respond
all the best
Sean

(The questionnaire was resent to Cllr. Sherlock and we await his reply...)
