Film classification office accused of leaking 'Banshees of Inisherin' Civil War complaint 

'The Banshees of Inisherin', starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, was a work of fiction, the IFCO pointed out.

The Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO) was drawn into a bizarre dispute where they were accused of having deliberately leaked a complaint made by one cinema-goer about the “complete mockery” made of the Irish Civil War in  The Banshees of Inisherin.

In emails with the then-acting film classifier George Sinclair earlier this year, the cinema-goer queried the “great timing” of his complaint being released and asked how it was allowed to happen so quickly.
