    Okay so here's my predicament.....Points for college in Republic of Ireland are very high for primary school teaching ....I done my leaving certificate last year and got all honours but not enough points..so I'm resitting exams this year but I've looked into the possibility of studying in Northern Ireland..which is an option that I already have good enough grades for ..so I'm considering not redoing my exams and getting a job to get money for college...so my question is if you do primary school teaching in NI and do irish instead of doing it in ROI ..are you as qualified?
