I am informed by An Garda Síochána that the total revenue collected by them in respect of firearm licence fees in 2012, 2013 and 2014 is as follows: 2012, €1.926m; 2013, €10.755m; and 2014, €3.697m.

These figures include revenue for fees for firearms certificates issued to non- residents in accordance with the Firearms (Firearms Certificates for Non-Residents) Act 2000. It should be noted that as the certificate renewals cover a 3 year period, the level of receipts will therefore diminish over the course of the 3 year renewal cycle.
