Dáil committee calls for Revenue to collect TV licence

Revenue should be given the responsibility of collecting the TV licence, an Oireachtas committee has recommended.

Communications Minister Denis Naughten has said public service broadcasting is in “deep trouble” due to “unacceptable” levels of TV licence evasion.

Over 14% of people do not pay their TV licence, which Mr Naughten said must be addressed as it is “a situation that cannot continue”.
