Kildare gun owners urged to renew licences or have weapon seized

Kildare Gardai have warned gun owners to ensure that their firearms are fully licensed.

Application forms are available at local Garda stations.

An unlicensed firearm may be seized and the owner may be prosecuted.

All firearms must be licensed under firearms legislation.

All new Frearms Certificates will cost €80 and will remain in force for three years from the date they were granted.

An Garda Siochana has thanked all firearm owners for their continued co-operation in this area.
