1112. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the status of persons paying television licences in mobile homes (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9878/16]
View answerThe current TV licensing system is underpinned by Part 9 of the Broadcasting Act 2009, which sets out inter alia the requirement to have a television licence and the penalties for not having a valid licence. In accordance with Section 142 of the Act, any premises at which a television is located requires a TV Licence regardless of its use. Currently, only one class of licence and one level of licence fee exist and this covers any number of devices so long as they are all in the same property (residential or commercial).
