Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed).
5:00 pm
Ms Jennifer Kenneally:
Senator Leyden referred to improving the licence fee so that it would apply to people accessing television coverage on laptops and tablets. He wondered how this might be implemented. It would actually be quite easy. We would just have to amend SI 319/2009 made pursuant to the Broadcasting Act which is what currently exempts these screens.
