Television Licence Fee
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-04
============================================================

Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

What I said publicly is what I am restating here: a discussion is ongoing. We are committed to the introduction of a new sustainable and fair funding model and will make a decision on that in the coming weeks.
In reply to Deputy Doherty's question, we are exploring all options for a new and reformed funding model with a contribution. As I said, we have not landed on any particular model or system of payment collection regarding the licence fee. We need to fix the system and strengthen compliance. The majority of people pay the TV licence fee, despite the Deputy speaking about a certain number who do not.
