With regard to any specific workplace disputes, including the accusation of the abdication of any duty that befalls the company by law, the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court are the organs of the State tasked to deal with the resolution of such matters. It is appropriate that any relevant claims be referred to those bodies for adjudication. There are no immediate plans in place to amend the section 481 legislation at this time. The film regulations provide that the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media can set conditions relating to the employment when issuing a certificate for a qualifying film. The regulations stipulate that these conditions are to be met not just by the producer company but also by the qualifying company, a designated activity company, DAC, wholly owned by the producer company solely for the purpose of making one qualifying film. This is done on a film-by-film basis.
