RTÉ licence fee

Summary

Deputy Brassil asked whether the licence fee might be increased and whether the Taoiseach's views affected Government policy on RTÉ. The Taoiseach said no legislation to increase the fee was proposed.

In light of the media controversy in the US, is any legislation being considered to increase the television licence fee? Do the Taoiseach's views about the station colour the Government's views about RTÉ?

I did not pick up the second part. There is no legislation proposed to increase the licence fee. I am not sure if any party in this House is proposing there should be, but there is none at the moment.
