The sale of TV licences and the associated inspection process is an operational matter for An Post as the Minister's statutorily appointed Agent under the Broadcasting Act 2009. The free TV licence you mention in your letter is part of the Household Benefits Package, which is administered by the Department of Social Protection.

I have asked my officials to bring the circumstances of the case as presented by the Deputy to the attention of An Post.
