    They keep writing letters to me. I don't have a TV, I wrote back to them a few times explaining this, I invited them to send a tv licence inspector around, I'm pretty sure I even sent them a declaration, and yet they keep sending me more letters every couple of months. Any suggestions?

    Ask on a public forum full of people you don’t know and can’t trust?

    Ignore them and hope that an inspector will call to you so that you can give him or her a " telling off"

    Revoke their implied rights of access to your property and tell them that you charge €20 to open each letter.

    That's what all the guys on YouTube do anyway and they seem like well adjusted folk. Extra points for filming the encounter and chasing the licence inspector/postman down the street.

    Also shout “Freemen-on-the-land”

    That’ll learn ‘em

    Don't worry about it, never let them through your front door.

    Don't have a TV license, never intend to get one either, I have 2 TVs - but *never* watch traditional TV.
    All my TV is netflix or Amazon prime and the occasional torrent when I can't otherwise find it.
    I am not paying RTE for Joe Duffy and Ryan Tubridy to make 1m+ a year - they can f*ck right off.
