    Hello,

    I qualified last June and have been teaching in the Middle East since. I'll stay here until June but I really don't like being here and want to move back Ireland. I'm only 21 so have a few years to get some experience and do whatever.

    I was wondering what kind of maters or post grad courses would be worth while looking into or that other teachers have done. I trained in the UK so I'm not sure what Irish schools are looking for.
    Ideally, I like to move to Galway or Dublin.

    Thank you for reading :)

    Both Galway and Dublin would be seriously oversubscribed with teachers. I'd look to working on Irish and ICT.

    Galway is chockablock, but there are so many schools in Dublin that one would have a much better chance of getting work there. I've experience of both counties.

    Most people in Galway are surviving on maternity leaves and substitution for short-term illnesses. Even year long temporary contracts are few and far between. Permanent jobs are rarely if ever advertised, as the Tuam Archdiocese redeployment panel is usually one of the last to clear. It's extremely difficult to get work (even sub work) in Galway city, from what I've been told.
