Dee Forbes banging the RTE TV licence drum again 60m uncollected fee *poll not working - pl ignore*

I am sure they have screen around for other sets. I be more annoyed with Claire Byrne and her new chair and table of the week show.

they dont have a licence for it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the way things are going RTÉ would be very lucky to see any change in their funding.

When you think the PSO that raises 393m per year via electricity bills maybe cut to help householders.

With the rising costs across for everyone its unlikely that the government will move to change the current method of collect.

As for funding it via the Exchequer... I think that will be put on the long finger considering the other areas of spending for the government.

This is were exchequer funding becomes political in the eyes of the voter.

George Lee scaremongering again on the 6 o'clock news, Man has to be cancelled

Do you honestly think that George Lee is helping us address climate change? He's one of the best paid staff members in RTÉ, he's given a job and he does it, they could retire him tomorrow and we'd have a new journalist doing his job.

Not really surprised. Chris guy is absolutely unbearable - an immediate change of the dial. Now if they could just take the Two Condoms with them, it would improve the station even further.

(Although it is admittedly never nice to see anyone lose their job.)

Claire Byrne live segment on online subscriptions was as pointless as Claire Byrne broadcasting from home, the time lag between her and the studio, just slight but really caused a problem with questions and answers. Wonder if any of them had paid their TV license.

He had better money when he left AFAIK checks list of top earners.

Oh... he only appears after that in 2014 and 2013, 179k and 180k respectively. Hasn't been there since but the number 10 spot has been held by those over that amount of money... so much for cuts.

Ah, it's good to vent now and again. I think that's included free with the license fee. 😊😊😊

What one claims and the actual reality can differ hugely. I'm not buying Lee's cry baby antics on his failed political career. Lee is abysmal was front and centre of RTE's covid coverage but was incapable of asking any questions of NPHET given his complete lack of knowledge in the area. About as useful as an ashtray on a motor bike.
