Why can't I take my 13 year old son into a 16 rated film even if he is accompanied by me?

The Irish Film Censor's Office is the body that gives ratings to all films that are shown in Ireland. For a 16 certified movie the rating is very clear, “No-one younger than 16 may see a '16' film in a cinema”. In this case it is not a parental decision to make, and by law, Cinemas must do as much as possible to ensure that children do not gain entry to films which are not suitable for them as set out in the ratings guidelines. Identification as proof of age may be required. More information is available from www.ifco.ie.
