You will need an Irish license for your gun.

You can apply for a license in the nearest Garda station to where you're going to live. Here's a list of phone numbers for Garda stations in the Galway area.

This might also be useful to give you a background on applying for a firearm license here.

What kind of shooting do you intend to do? If you tell us, some people here may be able to give you more specific help or advice on clubs.

Find yourself your local shooting ground our target club. Become a member of them, this would make it easyer to get a Firearms cert in this country.
