Do you specifically have to have an interest in shooting on land for hunting?
Yep quite easily, as stated do the competency course then you would have to join a range (if you are interested in target shooting) or a club if you want to hunt etc.

Quite a few clubs around Dublin, a lot of them only really cater for either clays or for rimfire target shooting though. But for beginners I would recommend a rimfire anyways.
