      As a fellow Carroll, I agree. I’m not entirely sure that the law is completely clear though. Most people who have served prison time with regard to tv license in this country have served that time for non payment of fine, issued by court, for the “offense” of not being in possession of said license. The system catches you either way once you show up in front of them. The point about “the state needs rte, was, in previous decades made about aer lingus, and even Waterford crystal.

      Martin, you are 100% correct. Up to 1990s RTEs output content across radio and TV was very good and high quality output. Since then the quality of output has declined very badly, to the extent that it doesn't justify the licence fee demanded. I believe in public service broadcasting but RTE has allowed itself to become nothing more than wokist TASS/Pravda outlet since the turn of the century.

      Most people don't seem to connect events and try to figure things out and ask questions so they don't see the bigger picture.
      Added to this is the problem that many people weren't interested in even everday politics until 2020 so they have nothing to build information on.
      Then there are phones, cycling on Greenways and team sports which distract people from important things.

      Paddy O'Gorman once did a radio segment regarding people who did jail time rather than pay the fines imposed for not having a TV licence. They considered it better to serve the time rather than fork out for the fine for non-payment. Licence collectors are finding it increasingly difficult to gain access to apartment blocks and gated communities. Modern TV sets do not emit any radio waves detectable by TV detector vans since the demise of CRT screens a decade or so ago. A similar development in small radios led to the abolition of the radio licence back in the 1960's. People using the service can no longer be detected and brought to court as effectively as in the olden days. There were plans to alter the TV licence to a general media levy, patable by ALL households and premises regardless of what device they used or what service the watched. One could see a tax being levied on subscription services in the near future if the licence is reduced or abolished. The bad aspect of the current system is that the poorest people pay the same as the richest people. There would be a lot less resentment and resistance to publically funded and run broadcast services if a reduced cost was levied on the poor as happens with other taxes.
