A notice has been issued for all Firearm Certificate Holders in the Donegal Garda Division.
Please ensure that you renew your firearm certificate promptly if it is up for renewal.
Each current holder of a firearm certificate should receive a Firearm Renewal Certificate in the post, approximately three months prior to the expiry of their current certificate.
“If you delay in submitting the form to your local Garda Station until too close to the deadline, by the time the application is processed and you receive the new certificate in the post it may be past the expiry date of your current certificate,” a garda spokesperson said.
“If this occurs, you will be deemed to have an illegally held firearm until such time as the new certificate arrives to you in the post.”
Gardaí are calling to licence holders who have failed to renew their licences and can seize firearms where the owner has failed to renew.
Contact your local Garda Station if you have any queries in relation to the renewal.
