The licence fee should be collected through income tax so people on lower incomes pay less, according to one LunchtimeLiveNT listener in Finland.

"It's just a small increase in income tax rate," he said.

In a series of letters, she complained of"persistent Government inaction" at a time when RTÉ was facing"profound" challenges.Ministers instead agreed to overhaul how it is collected and establish a group to assess the system."There's a public broadcaster who delivers television and radio and a streaming service and all the other things associated with it," he said.
