It is a criminal offence to have a television without a TV licence, which costs €160 per year. The licence is also required if a person has other TV-related equipment such as aerials, satellite dishes or cables.
A spokesman for An Post said a range of options for the purchase or renewal of TV licences is available, including at post offices and online. Reminders, fixed payment notices and court summons could follow if residents cannot show they have paid the fee. The lawyer is sometimes approached by people in court accused of not paying the licence and the lawyer would direct them to speak with an An Post’s inspector, who is always in court for the prosecutions.
Someone who has not paid the fee for some time after being caught by the inspector will be in arrears and is more likely to receive a fine and conviction, the lawyer added.
