Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: (Resumed) Discussion (21 Jan 2015)

Seán Kenny: They are mentioned in Mr. Slattery's submission. Perhaps Mr. Conroy would give us an idea of the range of guns on sale in his shops. A couple of years ago I went on holidays to Prague.
