Fun Fact Friday 4: Who is officiating same sex marriages in Ireland?
Now that we know the number of weddings of queer couples, who has been officiating them so far?
Swipe right to see the overall trend. Open link in stories to see the yearly trend. Again, this is also based on data collected by CSO from 2016-2022. The change in trend is particularly interesting. There is a steep rise in the preference of "Other religious denominations" - where celebrants like me and everyone in
@entheosireland fall under. It is nice to see that people have more options than they did in 2016.
