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.

Derek Burnett narrowly misses finals in Mens Trap PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Dennehy   
Sunday, 15 August 2004
Image Derek Burnett started well this morning with another string of 24/25 clays, but sadly in order to make the finals he needed a 25/25 string for his last string and due to gusty conditions, only managed a 23, missing the finals by two placings and two points. However, looking at the scores, he managed to put in the same performance as Australian gold medallist Michael Diamond today and finished on 119, the same score as Diamond; he finished in joint ninth only by countback to the third string, and beat UK silver medallist Ian Peel by a comfortable margin. By any sane standards, this is an impressive performance, and we congratulate Derek on having done so well for Ireland, and we hope to be reporting on his winning the medal he deserves in four years time in Bejing!
