Should cinema entry and age ratings get more strict?

According to the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), they have received complaints of children as young as three being admitted to movies in Limerick and Dublin that featured 'beheadings and throat-cutting'. Where does the responsibility lie? Is it up to the cinema to enforce the classification, or the parent / guardian who's in charge? Joining Andrea to discuss is Dr. Ciaran Kissane, Director of Film Classification in the Irish Film Classification Office, Mark Anderson, Director of the Omniplex Cinema Group, Ollwyn Moran Neuro Developmental Therapist & Founder of COGNI Kids as well as listeners.
