Yes, with your Master's degree and academic background, you are eligible to pursue a PhD in Education abroad, including in Ireland.

Most Irish universities require:
- Master's degree in Education or a related field
- Strong academic record (typically upper second class or above)
- Research proposal outlining your intended study area and its significance
- Supervisor agreement (you usually need to contact and secure a faculty supervisor before applying)
- Relevant professional experience may be required for some programs (e.g., minimum 3 years for certain Doctorate in Education tracks)

Admission requirements and processes are subject to change.
