Hi Op,

This should tell you what you need to know - http://www.teachingcouncil.ie/registration-requirements-for-primary-teachers-qualifications-awarded-in-ireland/qualifications-requirements-for-primary-teachers-qualifications-awarded-in-ireland.485.html

Unfortunately the UK has similar entry requirements to here (apart from the Irish) for primary teaching- you either need a degree in Education, or a degree in anything plus a postgraduate diploma in education. You also need certain marks in Maths, English etc in your leaving cert.

If you are set on going to the UK, I have heard great things about St Marys University College, London. http://www.smuc.ac.uk/

Hope that helps.

pow wow
