Myth of the RTÉ licence fee

RTÉ Director General Noel Curran claims the current annual €160 licence fee is ‘too low’ and below the European average.

He claims it is ‘much higher’ in most other European countries — the grown-up equivalent of ‘all the other kids have them, so why can’t I?’

So the time has come to put this particular myth to bed once and for all.
