    www.teachingcouncil.ie has information about recognised qualifications and procedures for applying with qualifications not on their list. I think (as you gained an exemption from the early part of your degree ) even if you did an honours degree on the list of recognised qualifications you would still have to submit detailed transcripts of subjects taken to gain exemption from the early part of the degree. So keep all details of the syllabus you covered.

    you could try the university of limerick's grad dip in education (engineering technology) after your honours engineering degree. http://www2.ul.ie/web/WWW/Services/Research/Graduate_School/Prospective_Students/Graduate_Programmes/Taught_Programmes/Education_&_Health_Sciences/Technology . So that would be 2 more years of your honours degree and 18 months of the grad dip.
