Responsibility for the resolution of disputes between employers and workers is, in the first instance, a matter for the employer, the workers and their representatives. The State facilitates employers and employees in resolving issues in dispute by providing a framework and institutions through which good relations can prosper. Accordingly, there exists a comprehensive suite of employment rights and industrial relations law, and institutions, such as the Labour Relations Commission, including its Rights Commissioner Service, the Labour Court and the Employment Appeals Tribunal, through which employment related disputes can be pursued and resolved. I am not aware of the status of any proceedings in this case.
