Sustainable replacement for the licence fee was key issue at meeting where Ryan Tubridy was not mentioned once, says union branch chair
“Public Service Media needs to be funded sustainably through public funding and we are calling for public debate on a replacement that is fit for purpose for the 21st century,” they said.
“Even if we look at the current system of the licence fee, it has not been increased since 2008, that’s 15 years ago. So we have something of a problem when people speak of RTÉ requiring a bailout. It got €15 million in interim funding last year and will need money again but that is because of Government inaction which predates the crisis.
