    Is there a mechanism to make a complaint regarding a teacher anonymously or at least not going through a school directly

    You have to follow the school policy/procedure.

    Depends how serious it is. If it's a child protection issue then it's ok to go to the Gardaí or Túsla as a first port of call too.


    Have a read here first. https://www.teachingcouncil.ie/en/Fitness-to-Teach/Complaints-about-Registered-Teachers/Making-a-Complaint/

    But
    ...
    Should I complain to the school or to the Teaching Council?
    [...]In most cases we cannot look into a complaint until the school’s disciplinary procedures (established under section 24 of the Education Act, 1998) have been exhausted (or come to an end)*, unless there are good and sufficient reasons. It is up to the Council's Investigating Committee to decide whether there are good and sufficient reasons. Good and sufficient reasons may include where children or vulnerable persons are, or may be, at risk of harm.
