I am a qualified special needs teacher from abroad and would be interested in teaching in Ireland. Is this possible?

The Teaching Council [2] website provides information on eligibility for teaching in Ireland and related registration procedures. The DES website provides information on 'Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications [3]'.

Where can I get information on courses and qualifications available in Ireland?

The SESS website has on overview of courses available in Ireland [4] related to SEN.
