On this morning's Gift Grub, the Late Late Show came under fire for one too many specials. Between the GAA Special, the Rugby Special, and the Valentine's Day Special, there have been a few recently and the Oireachtas Media Committee raised some concerns. Hit play now to hear the full episode.

A Clare member of the Oireachtas Media Committee insists that keeping the TV license in place is necessary, as the traditional funding model is 'broken'. It's expected that the charge for the TV licence will remain at €160, as part of media minister Catherine Martin's revised funding model for RTÉ, which will go before cabinet tomorrow. It details the need for 'additional compliance measures' including identifing those who don't pay their TV licence, with a first time offender liable for a €1,000 fine. Clare Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley says public service broadcasting is under huge pressure after reductions in funding from advertisers.
