If my husband is the co-applicant for the education loan, will you help with his visa process for a Master's?

No, under current Irish immigration policies, non-EEA international students (including those pursuing a Master's degree) cannot bring their spouses or dependents during their studies, even if your husband is a co-applicant on your education loan.
Family reunification may be possible after you graduate, secure employment, and obtain a work visa (Stamp 1). At that stage, you may be eligible to apply for a dependent visa for your husband, but specific requirements will depend on your employment permit type and income.
