Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I agree that the TV licence is outmoded. However, it remains the law. I encourage people to comply with the law and continue to pay it. It is not just about RTÉ; it is about other forms of public service broadcasting, Irish language programming and, indeed, programming for children and the arts. The Government will make a decision this year on a new funding model, which will either be a household charge collected by Revenue or Exchequer funding.
I had a chance to read the Sinn Féin policy.
