‘Window tax’ should not have been granted

THE Government has decided that the TV licence fee is to be increased from 88 to 150, an increase of 70%.

Wed, 18 Dec, 2002 - 00:00

Not one cent of this will be borne by those who made the decision.

In the manner of a window tax, it will be borne by the consumer. The benefit will be shared between the Government of the day and RTÉ.
