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.

First pistol licence granted PDF Print E-mail

Image Just received confirmation from Frank Brophy that his licence for a Toz-35M has now been issued at 1130 this morning.

Congratulations Frank, and let's hope we see many more target pistols licenced in the coming months, and hopefully the return of air pistols as well, so that for the first time in 30-odd years we can finally train in all the Olympic disciplines once more.
