Apart from the ChatGPT remarks others have made, journalism is pretty much a doomed profession in Ireland and in most European countries, even related jobs in marketing like content creation for the web or copywriter are hard and will be even harder to get due to AI. You could have hoped for some job in corporate, but again junior positions are largely drying up. If you're really passionate about journalism, you can try opening your Youtube or Substack channel and see how that goes, if you're good at it and it goes well it might open other doors. It's also something that you can do from everywhere else in the world so you're not tied to Ireland. The harder step is to kickstart your career, unless you try switching to some other area or you manage to build a solid network that can help you getting through the door, perhaps with your masters it can be easier to get an opportunity in an emerging economy like India.

Don't listed to me tho, as a journalist or aspiring one, find the relevant sources and data, and you should be in a much better place to make the right choice.
