The Irish Primary Principals Network (IPPN) is an organisation which represents primary school principals in Ireland, and supports their continued professional and personal development. It was founded in 1999.
The established general primary teachers' union, the Irish National Teachers Organisation, has been critical of the IPPN, but the IPPN has denied that it was set up as a rival organisation.

“But Irish had an old soul, you might say. He was a man with a great future behind him, already.”

“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
