If firearm licenceholders are required to obtain a letter from a GP, how much will that requirement cost them? It would add €30 or €50 to the cost of each licence application. I am not against the medical profession and I do not see Senator Henry, a member of that profession, protesting about this. If 200,000 licenceholders are required to obtain such a letter at a cost of €50, that would involve a levy of €10 million for licenceholders every three years.
