Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Éanna Ó Conghaile:

Currently, with the sale of television licences, one can either buy them through the post office or pay online. For example, I pay for mine online at €13.33 per month and it is sent to me in the post. My understanding is the post offices would continue to get the commission from the sale on the premises and they would also benefit from the continued footfall of customers who come to pay for the licence.
