After completing my degree, will I need to do additional work or studies to get a job abroad in Ireland for a Master's?

No, after completing your master's degree in Ireland, you generally do not need to do additional studies to get a job there. You can apply for the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G visa), which lets you stay and work full-time in Ireland for up to 24 months without employer sponsorship.
Some fields may prefer candidates with internships or professional certifications, but these are not required by immigration rules. For most jobs in Ireland, your degree is sufficient to start working.
If you plan to work outside Ireland, requirements may differ.
