RTÉ Call For Increased Funding After Losing €65Million From License Fee Evasion

The head of RTE will call for an increase in public funding when she appears before an Oireachtas Committee later.

Dee Forbes will outline how license fee evasion and"no-home TVs" are contributing to an annual loss in funding of €65 million. RTÉ reports that 15.2 percent of homes didn't pay in 2020 and the number of households claiming to have no TVs is currently at 15.1 percent.Ms Forbes also give an update on plans to shake-up the State broadcasters pay grades and structures.

Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Sinn Fein's Brian Stanley said he'd be opposed to an increase in the license fee.Deputy Stanley said the committee will need to know how the state broadcaster will get itself into a"financially sustainable position".

I want a refund, paying for this shite every year and RTÉ wastes it on huge salaries, I mean to say why do we need 3 people presenting a early morning breakfast radio show that nobody listens to, get this shíte sorted and cut top salaries

Evasion, People without TV's are not evading it, They don't require it. Make it pay per view and let people who want it pay for it.

When they fix the RTE player come back and talk to us

Why does funding have to be intake of funds? Why can it not be output of funds. The salaries of the RTE presenters in overpaid paid jobs are the biggest funding issue RTE is facing. The country is ready for new faces/talent, the country has an appetite to end greedy salaries!
