If I was Minister for media, and I was to say to everyone here we will not solve the piracy issue in Ireland because it is a global issue, but as regards the licence fee, we will stick a tenner at the end of a tick box, which the majority of people will surely pay, would that be acceptable to the witnesses? We have 668,232 licence payers in Ireland that proportionately we could divide it out if we multiply it by a tenner - it would come in at just under €6.7 million. That would get around piracy. We could work out the proportions.
