Taxpayers are to fund a new review of the TV licence system to evaluate how well RTE and TG4 are funded.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has published a tender seeking “a review of the adequacy or otherwise of public funding to enable the public service broadcasters, RTE and TG4, to meet their public service objects”.

This new review of the TV licence system has been allocated a budget of €150,000.

It is due to start in the second quarter of next year. The final report will not be delivered to the Government until March 2018.
