Do You Have A TV Licence For The MH

A recent article in Kildare Now with the banner headline TV licence inspectors will be visiting on holiday homes and mobile homes during the Easter bank holiday weekend SEE HERE features a stock photo of a motorhome as its cover picture :o
Worry not my fellow MH'ers, despite the lazy journalism on display motorhomes, being mechanically propelled vehicles, are not required to have a TV licence.
Page 146 of The Broadcasting Act 2009 contains the following definitions.
“premises” means land, a vehicle, a structure of any kind whether
attached or affixed to the land or not and includes a part of a building
occupied as a separate dwelling whether or not the occupier with any
other person shares any portion of it or any accommodation, amenity
or facility in connection with it;

“vehicle” means a vehicle other than a mechanically propelled
vehicle (within the meaning of section 3 of the Road Traffic Act
1961) capable of being lived in being a caravan or a mobile home.


Sorry about that any tuggers who may be visiting the site.

When I travelled in the U.K. I was told that your house tv licence covered your van as long that you were touring and not static. Am I correct that the motorhome in the picture bears a english reg and does not come under Irish tv scope

Probably it's just a stock photo.
The principal point is, unlike mobile homes and touring caravans, motorhomes are not required to have a tv licence although the use of a picture of a motorhome might lead some to think they do.
