Mr. Mark Griffin:

The €11 million related to the fee that is paid to An Post for the collection of service charges. There is a level of evasion of about 12.5%. I think the loss of income through the TV licence amounts to about €40 million.

The committee will be aware of the commitment in the programme for Government to establish the future of media commission chaired by Professor Brian MacCraith, which has been acted on. Funding is one of the things at which it will look and about which it will produce a report by July 2021. We hope to crack that particular nut once and for all.
