Gardai in Co Cavan are appealing to firearm licence holders to ensure that all firearms are accounted for.
Garda Lisa Stephens of Bailieboro Gardai Station is urging gun holders to get their renewal in as soon as you receive them.
Garda Lisa Stephens outlined that changes to the licenced firearm holder can include that they no longer reside at the home, their house is now vacant or they may be deceased.
In this case, Garda Stephens says it is imperative that the next of kin ensures that the firearm is accounted for.
Locals can do so by surrendering it to An Garda Síochána or placing it with a firearms dealer until it is licensed.
If this is not done you are at risk of having the firearm seized.
