The Irish school system is divided into primary and secondary education. Primary education includes eight years of schooling, while secondary education is divided into three cycles; junior cycle, transition year (optional), and senior cycle. At the end of senior cycle, students take the Leaving Certificate examination which determines their eligibility for higher education.

Do you need to have Irish to be a teacher in Ireland?

No. For primary and secondary school teaching, Irish is a mandatory subject. Primary school teachers are expected to have Irish. Exceptions can be made for teachers who are not Irish and so would not have learnt Irish in school themselves. So it is possible for teachers from other countries to work in Ireland as a primary school teacher without Irish. If the teachers are Irish themselves, then they are expected to have Irish in order to teach in a primary school. For secondary schools, different teachers would have specialist subjects, so not every teacher would be teaching Irish. So they would not need to have Irish. For other levels of education, it is not an issue at all.
