Ireland: Gun owners challenge Gardao’s refusal of licenses

A number of legal challenges brought by shooting enthusiasts against refusals by gardao to issue the gun owners with certificates for restricted firearms, has commenced before the High Court.
In three cases before the court, the gun owners are seeking orders quashing the Gardao’s refusal to issue them with licenses. They claim the Gardao’s refusal amounts to a breach of their constitutional rights and amounts to a fixed policy of not issuing licenses for guns that can be legally held.
