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 the doctrine of the Farm is merely this, that every man ought to stand in primary relations to the work of the world, ought to do it himself, and not to suffer the accident of his having a purse in his pocket, or his having been bred to some dishonorable and injurious craft, to sever him from those duties.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
