Do you still need Honours Irish to do Primary school teaching

Or was that done away with.

No you still need it.

you can go to teacher training in england and then do a hard exam when you come back, or i believe (could be wrong) that you can do a short (1/2 year) teaching addon after you do another irish degree.

How do u mean another Irish Degree. A degree in Ireland like, or an Irish subject related degree.

Say i do an Arts degree in Ucd, but as i didnt do Hons Irish in the Leaving, cud i primary school teach in England? Or would i have to do the equivelent English add-on of the Irish add-on that u`d do after the arts degree if i had hons irish.

my friend couldn't manage honours irish for the leaving, so she's taking a year out, repeating and applying for primary teaching again next year.
you really do need the irish so its worth doing it properly instead of just scraping through.

A degree in Ireland I think.

you'd have to do at least a addon course anywhere. do the irish though - the irish level for the addon is *much* harder than standard leaving cert irish (gfs sister took years to get it)
