    Any particular country in mind?

    The department of celtic studies at the Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, is always looking for Irish teachers. Good pay, great experience...

    I too am very interested in finding out more about this, preferably jobs in America if anyone can help? I've googled it loads but can't really find any decent info. Thanks.

    thanks for the responces!
    Madziuda- I'm really just on the research stage so I'm open minded as to the country at the moment!
    Sadhbhc15- I too have been hitting a brick wall with google on this topic!

    A sister of mine who is working in the EU Commission was just on the phone this afternoon telling me to go back and finish my degree in Irish - I have only 1st year - as she is constantly getting advertisements looking for people with fluent Irish to do translation work, but also to teach in the European Schools (although I think you have to be a fully qualified permanent teacher for the latter).

    In Friday's Irish Times they were looking for proof-readers of Irish (for the EU, I think).

    You've landed on your feet if you get into the Commission jobs. I'm supposed to start the PGDE this September but I'm definitely idir an dá chomhairle now and seriously thinking (once again) of doing the PGDE along with 2nd Year Irish this September. Apart from everything else, at least with the Irish there will be plenty of work. That's a great therapy.

    I'd give Conradh or Gael Linn a ring, or even contact the Conradh branches directly in America. Many of them have their own websites.
