About this episode

Communions and Confirmations often come with a less heavenly side: the price tag…

While the ceremonies may be spiritually priceless, the overall cost has a very real bottom line.

The latest research carried out in this area found the average cost of such celebrations was over €900!

However, this data from Ulster Bank is over six years old, so costs are likely to be well over €1,000 for the average household.

Joining Andrea to discuss this is Presenter of the Hard Shoulder on Newstalk, Kieran Cuddihy, Jennifer Horgan, Freelance Journalist and Teacher, Graham Moore, Director of Next level Entertainment, Lisa O’Sullivan Shaw, Digital Creator and Mom and Sarah Bolton, Owner and Founder of Charcuterie Countess.
