It sounds draconian on paper but I think it's better than the situation elsewhere in Europe where everyone pays for the state TV even if you don't own a TV. Or worse, having TV like in the US where the ads never stop even when the show is on.

If there’s going to be a public TV, I’d rather pay for it directly with my taxes than pay a fee just for owning an electronic device. Though I’d rather there not be public television at all. If it were up to me, RTÉ would become a private company.
