Charges determined by the bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are a matter for those bodies, and the issue of tax is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners. The following price increases apply for 2008:

Inland Fishery Licences for 2008 were increased 4.8%, over the 2007 rates.

Fees chargeable for Petroleum Authorisations were increased by 4.9% for 2008 over 2007 levels.

Television licence fees were increased by just under 1.5% for 2008 over 2007 levels.
