Yes, you are eligible to pursue a Master's in Ireland with your academic background.

Most Irish universities require:
- Bachelor’s degree with at least 60 - 70% aggregate marks (your 63% in BCom typically meets this for many programs).
- English proficiency: An IELTS score is required (usually overall 6.5, no band below 6.0). You’ll need to take this if you haven’t already.

Opportunities include:
- Scholarships: Various options are available for international students, including government and university-specific awards.
- Part-time work: You can work up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during holidays.
- Post-study work visa (PSW): Master's graduates can stay and work in Ireland for up to 24 months after graduation.

Admission and visa requirements are subject to change.
