Chapter 13 - The Development of Eircode, the National Postcode System

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I am sorry, I have better figures on this in the briefing I have but I will get the Chairman a better note on that. Funding receipts in 2014 were €213 million overall. We had a slight bump in 2015 to €214 million, so there was some pick-up during 2015, but I would make more of a policy point than a numbers point on that. We still have an ongoing issue with the level of television licence evasion. The evasion level is approximately 15%, costing the system between €25 million and €27 million per annum. It is an issue that has to be dealt with.
