I propose to take Questions Nos. 1423 and 1424 together.
As the Deputy is aware, I have obtained Government approval to proceed with the drafting of a number of legislative amendments to the Broadcasting Act 2009. The proposed amendments are currently being considered by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action & Environment under Pre-Legislative Scrutiny.
The previous Government gave approval for the preparation of legislation to enable the TV Licence Collection Agent (currently An Post) to access the subscription data held by TV service providers. This proposal is not being pursued in the current amendments.
The issue of subscriber contracts is a commercial matter between the subscriber and the contract provider and I have no role in relation to such contracts.
