Are there many teaching jobs in Ireland?We Answered:
There doesn't seem to be recent vacancies advertised for just one subject. You can keep an eye on upcoming posts at the site below."This web site is a 'one stop shop' for vacancies in Irish education."
The second site is a Careers Advisory Service newsletter for graduates from TCD looking for teaching careers. It has a few handy links for other sites where vacancies are advertised.

Is it easy to get a teaching job in Ireland?We Answered:
There are some teaching positions available for teachers who do not have the Irish language requirement, particularly in the area of TESOL teaching. Many schools now have large immigrant pupil bodies and require qualified teachers for English language support. You could also possibly get work as a resource teacher (SEN) depending on the subjects of your M.Ed. There are many British primary teachers working in schools here who do not speak Irish.Check with the Department of Education to see if your qualifications will be considered equivalent here - they do have an internationalisation register which helps in the 'translation' of qualifications.

If they are equivalent, the national newspapers are the best place to look for vacancies. The main ones are the Irish Independent (new vacancies are published on Thursdays and Sundays) or the Irish Times (job section on a Friday). Both have online editions.
You could also try http://www.teachingjobs.ie/Jobs.aspx, but it isn't as good.
Finally, the website of the Irish National Teachers' Organisation (primary teachers are also known as national school teachers) may also be useful to you:

Can someone tell me of some teacher recruitment agencies for Ireland, or to some sources for Irish Teaching..?We Answered:
To teach in primary school you have to have Irish language. Irish is compulsory at primary schools and secondary schools. To teach in the UK they have the PGCE plus a degree. Ireland they have what is knowing as HDip The Higher Diploma in Education plus a degree.The Higher Diploma in Education.
Qualifications obtained outside the EU must be acceptable to the Teachers Registration Council. There are special arrangements for teachers whose qualifications were obtained within the EU under the mutual recognition of qualifications directive. Remember Irish and UK have two different education system.

I see on your other question about taking your car with you. If you take a British registered car into Ireland and using Irish address with teaching job etc. All cars/vehicles brought into Ireland (apart from temporary visits of less than 12 months) are subject to Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and must be registered with the Revenue Commissioners. The tax rates vary depending on engine size - but are around 25 % of the expected selling price.
People who have owned their vehicles abroad for more than 6 months and who are moving permanently to Ireland are exempt from VRT. But if you sell it within 12 months of arriving - you have to pay the tax. Irish Driving Licence: If you are moving from an EU country - you can exchange your current licence for an Irish one - for a small fee. You don't have to - but it makes sense to do so - if only because you shouldn't really continue with your old driving licence with your old address on.
If you have moved from a "non recognised" country - such as the U.S. - you need to apply for a driving licence in Ireland. You must first you must complete a driver theory test, apply for a provisional driving licence and complete your driving test in Ireland. If you pass your driving test, you will be issued with a full driving licence for use in Ireland

Can a Canadian teacher teach in Ireland?We Answered:
You probably could, it would be easier for you if you went to Northern Ireland I think because youd get all the fast track advantages associated with being a Commonwealth Citizen.
