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.

Conditions were quite tricky with rapidly changing wind and light conditions as well as the odd (very odd for June) thundery downpour. The RTE crew arrived during the last detail, and caught an enthralling match between Sean Baldwin and Richard Stapleton, which finished with a single point between them. The battle continued into the final with the lead changing hands twice, Richard being the eventual winner.
