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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

IRISH SHOOTING TEAM COMPLETES OFFICIAL TRAINING

Bisley Camp, Surrey, UK, August 6 -- The Irish Junior Shooting Team today successfully negotiated equipment control checks and completed their official training for the GB Junior International event. Tomorrow sees the first shooters on the line from the Irish team, with Damien Fagan and Shane Flynn entering the Junior Men's Air Rifle event at 0820. Both shooters are anticipating their upcoming matches, and Team Coach Geoff Cooney believes both will do well: "Both Shane and Damien are ready for this match", Geoff said, "They have their technical routine down, all it comes down to now is the mental game on the day and they have their heads in the right place for that".

Wednesday will see the Junior Women take their places on the firing line, while the entire team will be entering the Grand Prix event this coming Thursday.
