The BASC Northern Ireland team are fully committed to delivering a premium service to BASC members which is why we have a “members first” approach. We are widely recognised not only for our success in resolving member’s firearms licensing issues but also our wider work on NI firearms and wildlife legislation.
We continue to lead the way in the Northern Ireland Assembly, as evidenced by our work with the All Party Group on Country Sports which was established by BASC and our elected representatives in January 2013. Our work throughout NI is supported by BASC head office colleagues which is why BASC is the organisation that is best placed to promote and protect all aspects of shooting sports in Northern Ireland.

DAERA Fox Survey – Can you help?
We have been contacted by DAERA who, thanks in part to the sustained efforts of BASC members in Northern Ireland, are nearing their 2016/2017 quota for carcasses to sample for the tapeworm Echinococcus Multilocularis. There are two geographical areas however, where they are below their required quota. In an effort to alleviate this, we are appealing for anyone in the greater Belfast area who discovers a fox which has died on the roads to get in touch with DAERA in order that samples may be taken.
There is also a shortfall in the outer Belfast area. Those areas in question are Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey, Castlereagh, Lisburn and North Down. Anyone who can supply a fox carcass from these areas is urged to contact DAERA on 028 90 765333 or 07767 271431, or email RTABadger@daera-ni.gov.uk. DAERA can only test foxes 24-48 hours from being killed.
Your help in this matter is very much appreciated.
