If I move from Ireland to Australia after completing my masters in Ireland, is there any chance that I can go to Australia?

Yes, you can move to Australia after completing your master's in Ireland, but you would need to apply for a new Australian visa.
To study further in Australia, you must apply for a student visa (subclass 500) with an offer from an Australian institution. If you want to work in Australia after your Irish degree, you are not eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), as it is only for graduates of Australian institutions.
Alternatively, you may explore Australia's Skilled Migration Program, which considers factors like your qualifications, age, work experience, and English proficiency.
