You are in the same district as me, aren't ya? If so he was on duty today when i rang at 12. He'll be back on tomorrow.

If not then it doesn't matter. What you need to do is get back onto him tomorrow, explain that your Mother has received a second certificate number, explain there is only one gun and which cert number do they have on PULSE for her. If they have both get them to cancel one, and show that there is only one gun on the premises. Then ask them to check on the status, on PULSE, of your application. If it's entered then it's just waiting on a signature.

I received my two subs this morning, my Father his, and my mate got one of two he is waiting on. All in the same district as you (i believe) so they are processing them. Get onto it, or better again call ahead to find out when the FO is on duty, bring your Mother, the licenses, and the gun, and then head to the station. Make sure the bolt and mag are out and the gun is safe, obviously. A visual/face to face wil get better results and once he sees the actual licenses & gun it'll make thins much clearer.

Owen is on the ball. In fairness he has come a long way in a short period of time considering he got stuck in the position after Eamon retired.

Is Predergast the new Super? Got the signature on the form, but did not recognise it. Lyndon/Lundon/London (whatever the feck her name is) was the last one, and before that it was either an inspector from Mullingar or Kildare. Good to know.

Last Summer Chief Super J B Scanlan sign off on my air rifle theres always choppin and changing.....Eamon was a great man so i heard fast and reliable...

Like everyone else he had a rocky start, but didn't last a year before he got sense and ran.

I think so with the way the licenses came he must be new coz he made a serious balls of the licenses haha

Not one to give credit where it's NOT due, but he was new last year, and now is on the ball. Best thing is he is quick to ring. No guessing with him, and he takes it upon himself to ring you if there is a problem. Something i have not gotten since John Munnelly's day.

1 month it took before they even look at my sub then making a balls of it not good in my opinion

Lad, it's not as clear cut as calling it a balls because it takes some time. Abbeyleix is not the main station. All applications go to Portlaoise. So if the FO is away, on other duties, or even on the ball it still has to go to Portlaoise and wait again. Then if the Garda in Portlaoise is on holidays (which she is just back from) then there is going to be another delay. However this morning shows they are getting back on track.

Give him a shout tomorrow and have a chat. If he can sort it he will.
