David McSavage has called for the TV licence to be scrapped as public anger over the RTE salary scandal mounts.
The controversial comedian, a cousin of under-fire Ryan Tubridy, urged a radical overhaul of the State broadcaster. He said: "Why should the licence fee pay for fat salaries? We should have a subscription service instead."
It comes as an online poll showed 84 per cent would not pay the €160 fee amid calls for the fraud squad to probe secret payments.
