Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

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.

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