Which master's programmes in Ireland suit a Business Management graduate with no prior work experience seeking better career prospects?

A Business Management degree by itself already covers the ground a generic MSc Management would repeat, so the real value of a master's here comes from adding a skill your bachelor's didn't, not from studying the same subject again.

My Advice

In my experience, graduates without work experience underestimate how much a specific, provable skill matters next to a general management title on a CV. Before you finalise your choice, build up Excel, Power BI or basic SQL on your own regardless of which program you pick, since interviewers for graduate roles in Ireland ask for it early, and a business-analytics-flavoured master's only pays off if you can actually demonstrate the skill in an interview rather than just list it on paper. Treat internships and part-time projects the same way, since Irish employers weigh demonstrated skill over module titles on a transcript.
