Teaching dance

I am a dance /drama teacher in eduction through the GTP system in England. Next year my family move over to Dublin and was wondering if dance/drama were subject on the curriculum where I could be appointed as as teacher and is the GTP certificate vald in the rep of Ireland?

Dance/Drama aren't subjects in their own right in Ireland. At secondary level dance is part of PE, as far as I'm aware. I think the closest thing to drama is Shakespearean study in English. EDIT: See what Spurious says below.

At primary level drama is a subject, but is usually taught by the class teacher. Dance forms part of the PE curriculum. Schools sometimes hire Irish dancing teachers, but the numbers doing that are falling.

There is a Drama module in the Applied Leaving Cert., but it wouldn't be enough to give anyone a full-time job in a school.

We have a dance studio in our school, but it's usually used out of hours by clubs and the like who bring their own teachers.

The Dept do not want outside paid teachers coming into primary and most schools are loathe to ask parents for extras like this anyhow.
