That's what I was thinking, Walshie. Similar to our own, new, system.
Used to be about €45.00, per gun, per year. Now we pay, what ever, for three years.
Actually, it's quite nice, to be honest. Because, I mean, ye Know it's coming! Not like this €300.00 bill just lands on ye mat. (I have two guns) And, once ye've paid for it? Relax! No more shit for a whole three years!
For me, considering the taxi fares alone involved in getting from pillar to post, trying to catch evasive Gards and get rubber stamping done? It's actually, quite likely, saving me a small f**king fortune!
