FIREARM certificate holders in Donegal Division are being reminded to renew their certificate if it is up for renewal.
Each current holder of a firearm certificate should receive a Firearm Renewal Certificate in the post approximately three months prior to the expiry of their current certificate.
A garda spokesperson said: “If you delay in submitting the form to your local garda station until too close to the deadline, by the time the application is processed and you receive the new certificate in the post it may be past the expiry date of your current certificate.
“If this occurs, you will be deemed to have an illegally held firearm until such time as the new certificate arrives to you in the post. Gardaí can seize firearms where the owner has failed to renew.
“Please contact your local garda station if you have any queries in relation to your renewal.”
