Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Firearms Licences: Working Group on the Review of Firearms Licensing (17 Dec 2014)

Gabrielle McFadden: Thus far, I am in favour of the legislation, but it is stated on the website that the Garda must be satisfied that an applicant has good reason for using the gun. How can the Garda satisfy itself as to that good reason? Is a background check done on persons when they seek a licence? Can the Garda ask for a medical certificate from a doctor indicating the person is okay? If it is issuing a...

Gabrielle McFadden: I thank the Chairman and I thank Mr. Olson for the report. One of my questions was about rosters but I have no wish to ask Mr. Olson to repeat everything.
