Our primary goal at this stage is to share the proposed tariff structure and invite your feedback.
IMRO is committed to undertake fair, reasonable, and proportionate consultations when proposing to introduce a new tariff or to make significant changes to an existing tariff. IMRO aims to set reasonable terms and to apply and administer all licensing schemes fairly and consistently. The Intellectual Property Office of Ireland has jurisdiction over all existing and proposed licensing schemes operated by IMRO.
The consultation will run for a period of 4 weeks from 16th January until 13th February 2026. IMRO will review all responses received on or before the closing date. Details on how to respond to the consultation can be found in Section 7 of this document. Note: This consultation relates to IMRO’s tariffs only (i.e., the part of the music rights granted under any Dual Music Licence by IMRO related to musical works in the repertoire controller by IMRO).
Please note this consultation does not obligate IMRO to implement any of the changes proposed, however we may propose an alternative tariff in light of responses to this consultation.
