In the context of a child reporting the misbehaviour of another child, I have heard 'Táim ag insint ort.' It sounds like a very literal translation for a phrase. Is that really o.k. to use or is there something better? For the record, I am not condoning anyone telling on anyone!

Yes both are used. In particular - "Inseoidh mé ort".

You might also say - "sceithfidh mé ort".
