Question:

385 Deputy Jonathan O’Brien asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of firearms licences held throughout the State; if he will provide a geographic breakdown of the locations at which these licences are held; the quantity of firearms held by each individual holding a licence; the type and purpose of each firearm; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter)

As it has not been possible to compile the information requested by the Deputy in the time available, I have asked the Garda Commissioner for a report on the matter and will write to the Deputy when it becomes available.
