Question 994: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the measures he will put in place to overcome the problem whereby television licence holders bring their home television to their holiday home or mobile home for a number of weekends throughout the summer holiday period and where they are expected to purchase a television licence for this holiday residence.

There are no immediate plans to change the TV licensing regime as it currently relates to holiday or mobile homes. However, I have recently submitted proposals for new broadcasting legislation to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources for the purposes of holding a public consultation on the proposals under the eConsultation initiative. I propose to introduce a Broadcasting Bill into the Houses of the Oireachtas in 2007 in the light of the outcome of the consultation process.
