Vol. 289 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dart Gun Imports.

23.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will prohibit the import of the Taser electric dart gun.

I have recently become aware of the type of gun referred to in the question. The weapon would appear to be a firearm within the meaning of the Firearms Acts and as such could not be imported unless a licence or certificate to cover the importation was in force. I do not see any likelihood of circumstances arising in which I would be prepared to grant such a licence or certificate.
