The Revenue Commissioners could be asked to collect the TV Licence fee in future, under new proposals to be considered by Ministers.

RTE estimates it loses out on €50 million a year due to non-payment of the fee.
Former Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte believes Revenue will resist the proposal.
