Mr Carkill appealed Supt Ryan’s licence revocation decision to the District Court and Judge Larkin has now upheld Mr Carkill’s appeal. Judge Larkin said Mr Carkill has owned the licensed gun since 2007 and his father before him, and the difficulties with the neighbour have existed long since. He said: “They range from two cars meeting on a narrow roadway and not reversing to wandering stock and dogs.”

Mr Fitzpatrick said Supt Ryan’s reasons for revoking the gun licence “are not well-founded and reasons given have no basis”.He told Mr Fitzpatrick he had never brandished the gun or indicated to anyone he was going to use it for any other purpose apart from shooting vermin.
