Visiting hunters can almost always import a rifle or shotgun for a guided trip — your outfitter handles the temporary import / visitor firearms certificate paperwork. Irish residents need a Firearms Certificate from An Garda Síochána, which requires a Garda-approved proficiency course for first-time applicants.
