Ms Dee Forbes:

Regarding the non-television homes, what qualifies in that category are not necessarily households with no television sets, but those that do not have a connection to an aerial to effectively allow the reception of what we would call regular, linear television broadcasts. It is possible to have a television that is connected to a box or it might involve a box and IP delivery. Hence, again, the definition here is also out of date. That is why that figure may seem unbelievable, but it is a definition issue.

It is also worth stating that we have seen significant increases in the viewing of live television via the RTÉ Player.
