One-third support licence fee for those who watch television on a tablet, laptop or PC

One-third of the population think those who watch television on a tablet, laptop or PC should also have to pay for a licence.

However, according to the survey by iReach Insights, this percentage drops dramatically to just 15% in the 18-34 age bracket.

The study found that almost nine out of 10 people in Ireland have a TV licence but that this drops to 78% for those aged between 18 and 34 years old. Of those in that age grouping who don’t have a TV licence, the reason is that they don’t want to spend their money on it (80%).
