After completing my masters, do they give jobs to Indians or is there discrimination in Ireland?

It is possible for Indian graduates to secure jobs in Ireland after completing a master's degree, but some challenges exist.

You can stay and work for up to 24 months after graduation under the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G), which allows you to seek employment without employer sponsorship during this period. Ireland’s job market is strong in sectors like technology, pharmaceuticals, finance, and healthcare, and many global companies recruit international talent.

However, some international graduates have faced difficulties, including reluctance from some employers to hire non-EU candidates due to visa sponsorship requirements. Reports also suggest that the Stamp 1G visa can make some employers prefer candidates with more stable immigration statuses, which may indirectly affect hiring decisions.

There is no official discrimination against Indian graduates, but these factors can impact job prospects. Actively networking, gaining relevant experience, and staying updated on visa policies can help improve your chances.
