Family pressure and school fears: Why the choice to baptise causes conflict for parents From secret ceremonies to school gate pressures, parents share the β€˜minefield’ of choosing whether to baptise in a modern Ireland.

It used to be β€œthe done thing”. Yet as Ireland becomes more religiously diverse, and as more Irish people identify as non-religious, baptism has become something that’s on the table for debate and discussion between parents.

This really was the depths of Keaton’s slump, wasn’t it? Smacks of a role he took just to keep working. So glad his career recovered #BeyondFriday
