• Farmer wins appeal against firearms licence revocation in Ennis Firearms licence (appeal against revocation) · Co. Clare

  Supt John Ryan revoked the single-barrel firearms licence of Kieran Carkill, a man from Leanna Kilnaboy, County Clare, in October 2022, citing seven documented incidents with a neighbour across 2021 and 2022. Carkill, who has a 100-acre farm adjacent to the Burren, surrendered his firearm to gardaí in July 2021 after an alleged incident with the neighbour. He appealed the revocation, with his solicitor arguing the gun was needed to shoot crows attacking his bales. Judge Mary Larkin at Ennis District Court upheld the appeal in February 2023, finding the Superintendent's objections not well founded.
