Decision on TV licence hike due in weeks
Communications Minister Eamon Ryan is weighing up whether RTÉ deserves the fifth successive rise in as many years to cover inflation at 4.6%. The current fee is €158.
The possible rise comes after independent Mayo TD Beverley Flynn reached a €1.25 million settlement with RTÉ in July after running up €2.84m in costs in her failed libel action against the broadcaster.
