IPPN

A County Network consists of Principals and Deputy Principals all of which are current members and are located within the 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. Whilst some degree of official procedures and structures are necessary to maintain shape, consistency and compliance throughout IPPN, the culture of IPPN is one of informality, collegiality and professionalism.
