Television Licence Fee (29 Nov 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Minister agree it would be a great help to householders if the television licence was reduced?

What contact has he had with the Commissioner in charge of state aids to ensure this permission will...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is the Minister not surprised that this Europe, with its Lisbon agenda of being a most efficient and forward-thinking Europe, is totally inefficient at its heart? The Minister might inform the House when the application was lodged and how long we have been waiting because it is important that this matter be put on the record. I am surprised at the relaxed attitude here. I understand there...
