Commercial radio bosses are to grill TDs this evening on the issue of the broadcasting levy for radio stations.
The Government promised three years ago to abolish the tax on independent radio stations.
Currently, the levy's used to fund the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.
Despite then Taoiseach's Enda Kenny's pledge in 2016 to scrap the fee, no action has been taken yet.
The Government is now suggesting they may only halve the levy.
Independent radio stations, meanwhile, say the levy's introduction in 2009 disproportionately affects them.
They suggest it was brought in during the most severe downturn in revenues since the independent sector began.
Radio bosses now want funding for the BAI to come from the TV licence fee instead.
"We've heard a lot of talk"
Chairman of the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland, John Purcell, said they now need to see action on the issue.
He suggested a 50% cut would be a "start", but not the full commitment.
He explained: "We've heard a lot of talk, and we want to see them walking the talk.
"We'll be looking for timeframes, and we'll be looking at how it's going to be delivered.
"We don't feel that any further delay is acceptable in the current environment."
Junior Housing Minister Damien English insists the Government is still committed to addressing the levy.
He observed: "[Communications Minister] Richard Bruton is bringing forward a broadcasting amendment bill, I think in the months ahead.
"With all the Brexit legislation, it could be delayed a little bit. But it's coming forward.
"In that, there's amendments that will deal with this levy. I think this will be a positive development."
He added that there's "a lot of support" for independent and local radio stations in the Dáil.
