That is from a couple of weeks ago.Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern):TYPE|2007/08|2006/07|2005/06|2004/05|2003/04
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that an analysis completed 9 October 2008 shows the figures, by type, for licensed firearms to be:
Shotgun|177,455|174,832|171,916|173,556|170,236
Rifle|56,689|50,986|48,536|47,596|44,967
Crossbow|79|76|72|76|73
Pistol|1,551|1,125|751|289|1
Revolver|284|214|131|58|0
Other|62|54|43|34|27
Total|233,120|227,287|221,449|221,609|215,304
The firearms licensing year is from 1 August to 31 July of the following year. To additionally analyse the data by calibre would involve considerable Garda time and resources. I have already indicated my concern at the increase in the number of handguns being licensed and I have informed the house previously, a review of firearms legislation is being finalised at present in my Department.0 -
