Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
475. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the amount of revenue collected in respect of firearms licence fees in each of the years 2012 to 2014; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28981/15]
View answerI 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.
