Rumour control!

Apprently not according to one source! It seems NO reps from any organisation are on this list.

Fair enough,if it cuts out people with agendas.

And to emphasise Cass's post.From the DOJ application formula, for those who didn't get the memo, or are still in a "be grand" mode of thinking this is what FEC's remit is;

 First meeting: Introduction of issues. Carry out an assessment of all types of firearms which are currently licenced in the State.

 Second meeting: Make recommendations based on this assessment on which types of firearms should be licensable in the State and for what purposes.

 Third meeting: Make recommendations on which types of firearms should be licensable in the State and for what purposes.

 Fourth meeting: Consider whether firearms certificates should be conditioned to specify the locations where the firearm may be used. Consider whether firearms certificates should be conditioned to limit the use of the firearm to the purpose for which the firearms certificate was sought. Consider any further matters raised by the Minister.

 Fifth meeting: Consider whether there should be a limit on the number and type of firearms a person may hold. Consider any further matters raised by the Minister.

 Sixth meeting: Finalisation of report containing recommendations on these matters. Consider any future areas of examination or further matters raised by the Minister.

4,5,&6th points. Consider any other matters raised BY the minister...IOW this committee won't even be able to point out or bring up matters unless the minister raises a specific topic. IOW the complete and utter trainwreck of previous legislation will be ignored.

Tinkering with what , more or less isn't broken in the system.

Email,write or phone minister Browne and point out this is an abysmal choice on his part and flies in the face of his statement of 29th Sept 2021 on Newstalk radio of the committee being made of.

"Committee to be made up of Dept of Justice officials, Garda officials and two independent civilian experts, not representatives of "the gun lobby"

Be at pains to point out that this is not sour grapes or poor loser on your part,but that in light of the above statement how does he justify choosing a chairman of a registered lobby group for this position?
