Yes, after completing a one-year master's degree in Ireland, you’re eligible for a two-year post-study work permit through the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G). You first get permission for 12 months, then can apply to extend for another 12 months if you show active job search efforts. This gives you time to work and gain experience in Ireland after graduation.
