No permits needed for Ireland -

The NIPA was founded in 1945 and it's membership was open to all members within Northern Ireland - We are one of the largest weekly convoying organisations in the UK. Presently we have approx. 100 clubs as members, with over 2,000 members. Birds competing each week can reach 25 to 30 thousand, depending on the race. The race programme starts in Ireland down to Rosscarbery and continues through Wales & England to Penzance, and the Premier OB Nat flown from St Malo (France).

Please be advised that permits for racing pigeons into Ireland are no longer required. However the birds should be accompanied by an Owner’s Declaration as normal. Owner’s may use the declaration that is on the Application and this must accompany the birds en route. Also, no hay, straw or peat moss should accompany the pigeons in the course of importation.

Pigeons that are been exported from Ireland to mainland Europe or UK contact must be made with those countries to see what requirements are needed to do so.
