Television Licence Fee
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-30
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

As I said in reply to the Deputy's colleague, Deputy Munster, when I brought the reports to Cabinet, RTÉ accepted all of the recommendations in principle. We as a Government accepted in principle the recommendations that relate to the Government or the Oireachtas joint committee. I announced that within six weeks an implementation plan would be brought to the Government. RTÉ is going through this. It is very important that we see how it will implement the recommendations. There are perhaps 101 recommendations for RTÉ and the rest are for us. As I said in reply to Deputy Munster earlier, I expect the six-week period will take us to approximately the last Cabinet meeting in June. The discussions on the TV licence funding model continue and I intend to do this before the summer.
