Masters in Primary Education/ PGCE

    I'm looking for some advice/ info/ opinions on the best route for primary teaching. I finished my undergrad (Irish & Spanish) in 2015 and decided to take a year out as I'm still quite young. I'm currently working abroad as a classroom assistant teaching English as a foreign language. I'm intending on returning to begin my masters in primary education this September.
    I'm considering every option, Hibernia, Pats, Mary I and I'm also seriously considering going to England as there seem to be lots more job opportunities there. My only hesitation about going to England is the situation with Irish. I have my degree in Irish, but I can't find a straight answer on how I can qualify to teach in Ireland after studying in England. I'm quite content to work in England for a few years but I'm thinking down the line when I'll eventually want to return. Is it easier just to do the masters here?

    My sister did the PGCE in Brunel University in England for one year and when she came back the following year she did her Dip hours in Ireland. She had to do SCG exams in Irish, oral and written and attend for 3 weeks in the Gaeltacht. It would be no bother to you with your level of Irish.
