Irish Primary Teacher Resources
Free resources for Irish primary teachers — Gaeilge vocabulary mats, SESE (History & Geography), Irish history, Celtic mythology, and curriculum guides aligned to the NCCA Primary Curriculum Framework.
Note on Gaeilge content: Our Irish language vocabulary resources are bilingual — Irish vocabulary with English translations and pronunciation guides. These are designed to support the teaching of Gaeilge in English-medium schools (gaelscoileanna will find them useful as reference tools). Full prose in Irish is beyond our accuracy guarantee; for Gaeilge reading texts, we recommend Foras na Gaeilge (seideansi.ie) and COGG (cogg.ie).
