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.

“I hope you will not be washed away by the Irish sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
