    Visitors permit is what you require. The EU firearms passport alone is not sufficient.

    Does the EU firearms pass cover you to ''pass through'' the North, if your not actually shooting in the North.

    I can't swear on it but I think it doesn't.

    it doesn't cover you, to be in possession of a firearm in NI you need an NI firearms pass and to get that you need a EU pass and sponsor

    Getting an EU pass is fairly straightforward,
    Just drop a letter into the superintendents Garda station stating that you want one for travel and include a copy of your licences back and front and a passport photo with your name on it and make sure its directed to the firearms officer, Take their name for reference.

    Then leave it a couple of days and ring the station and they should have it for collection. Thats how it works in my district. Very organised but results may vary depending on location.
