We call on the Irish Government, RTГ & its Board & Audience Council to
make all RTГ transmissions free to air.

With particular focus on digital services the licence payer is funding
the transmission of RTГ signals that are encrypted and not equally
available to all citizens of Ireland.

Article 21 (2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states
"Everyone has the right to equal access to public service in his country"

We demand all public service broadcasts be Free To Air.

    • We pay a licence fee, have ads and have to pay a foreign TV broadcaster to view on satellite. Where is the Irish public service broadcasting in all of this?

    • TV license is criminal when you consider the deal RTй have done with sky - and the poor commitment to going digital in comparison with our european neighbours.

    • When the strength of a broadcaster is having audience reach why try to reduce the potential audience by scrambling the signal? RTЙ should try to reach everyone.
