Under 4 weeks for a substitution. 22lr to a 223.

Again thanks to the Kilkenny Firearms Officer and Superintendent for the quick turnaround.

As soon as it is entered on the computer, PULSE will automatically issue a grant letter and you should have it in 2-3 days, with a month to pay.

Quick question lads , when the letter arrives can i send the wife down the post office to pay it for me , or do i have todo it myself ?,they would be closed most days by the time i get off work.

First time with a new application in this jurisdiction since I moved house. I'm 8 weeks in. My renewals over the last few years seemed to come in a very timely fashion. But this new application is dragging on a bit. CPO was out 2 weeks ago to check my security, so I'm sure the wheels are in motion. I'll go looking for an update if I don't hear anything more by week 10.

Starting week 12 tomorrow. Was in the local station today. FO wasn't there. Supposedly in Monday morning. I might chain myself to the front desk.

Grant letter arrived today. A few days short of the 3 month mark.

More than 6 weeks waiting for a renewal (shotgun). No replies by phone or email

Substituted a 12 gage o\u for a .308 Bergarra and had the license in 1 week, thanks to Waterford GS

Coming up on 4 months now since submitting a new application.
The form sat untouched for weeks despite multiple follow-up calls to the FO. I was told they’re currently prioritizing renewals, so new applications are handled by whoever picks them up.

I visited the station and went through the checklist again with the same Garda I submitted it to about 10 weeks earlier. He said it would be signed off by the sergeant the next day.

Three weeks later—still no letter. Back to chasing them again

So fourteen months for the Ceiner Hohrein conversion kit,and 14.5 months for the "Unique" 22 Pistol/Rifle combo,got the grant cert this AM. Ok I will give them that they were two "oddball" firearms and not your everyday .22s,so by the time much consultation of all parties was done to legality and licensing thereof.It was going to take awhile.But it shows if you hang tough you will get there eventually.

Nothing. Almost 10 weeks of silence

Currently 6.5months now. Had been waiting on a review of my house and security, that took 2 months for report.

They have confirmed it is now back with the Super waiting for review.

Delays are getting annoying as I missed out on a few competitions and dealers are now looking at charging storage.

they are helpful, supers office has been ringing me giving me updates as it move through the process and reminding me its all ok just very slow.

NARGC has offered to help if i dont get any progress

x2 renewals also gone in 2 weeks ago

Have anybody ever submitted a complaint to fiosru?

AKA The Garda Complaints Comission,GSOC,the Garda Ombudsman,and now re branded with an Irish name but the same original contents no doubt.

Yes,multiple times back in the oughties handgun and SACFR courts wars,as have at least a half dozen other members of this community. In fairness, they WILL investigate complaints in relation to firearms matters,but oddly in all cases that I have heard of and in mine,they found nothing to uphold in the original complaints.

Strange that.A Garda Supt thinking he was above a DC judges ruling on being orderd to grant two restricted liscenses,and literally changing his mind at the court doors,then repeating the same stunt twice more in two following years with me,and all other restricted liscense holders with SACFR and handguns in his district.

While you proably wont get any results in the complaint.It does leave a mark on someone's career file,that they were subjected of a GO investigation in relations to a "firearms matter."Which may or may not affect the ol career ladder for aims at the Park.

AFAIK the system is fully automatic.

When paperwork is received and input on PULSE, the system should issue the "3 months to decision" letter (There might be a yes/no option on Pulse to issue this letter, as not all get it).

When the application is granted and updated on Pulse then the Grant Letter is issued automatically.

Renewal notifications are printed and issued automatically 3 months before expiration (weekends, bank holidays and An Post, notwithstanding)
