Well judging by the amount of stuff out there, it hasn't worked.
Having worked in the Video Production biz for many years, I can say the following. Mark is quite right about the bye laws. A domestic camera (video or still) does not come under their insurance clause either. To film on IE property, you need Public Liability cover of up to €5million. Photo shoots are similar. In essence its a case of any "shoot" that involves risk to the public through equipment, cabling etc.
Taking a photograph/video from a hand held camera is only covered by the "private property" tag, which the bye-laws do not delineate between. I would suggest that IEs timetable warning in relation to photography is based on the success of the internet. They are afraid that someone will snap or record something that makes them look bad. Its not enforceable against domestic devices.
