Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Firearms Licences: (Resumed) Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Nicholas Flood:

I have had particular experience of this problem. Women are some of the most formidable shooters. Some have won world championships and compete on equal terms. There is no gender element at all within target shooting. It is one of the most gender-neutral sports. One can say even from a personal perspective that, as opposed to men, a woman's hips come in quite handy when shooting standing up. There are many advantages and there are no gender differences. They shoot together.
