There's a proposal for the Revenue to take over collecting the TV licence fee from An Post.

It's part of an Oireachtas report which aims to tackle evasion and raise an additional 30 million euro a year.

According to The Sunday Times it will also recommend that satellite providers pay retransmission fees to RTE and TV3.

Earlier this week, the Communications Minister Denis Naughten ruled out introducing a laptop levy instead of the licence fee.
