Renew all firearm certificates ASAP

Anyone with an outstanding firearm certificate is being strongly urged by senior gardaí to renew the certificate as soon as possible.

In recent weeks local gardaí have been contacting firearm owners via post and telephone, but there are still a lot of renewals outstanding.

People are warned that any unlicensed firearms will be seized by the gardaí.

The advice to renew firearms immediately has been made by Superintendent Joe Prendergast.
