What the national data shows
Ireland's Higher Education Authority surveys every graduate nine months out — the Graduate Outcomes Survey. The figures below are for the Postgraduate Taught (master's) cohort, the level a MiM sits at.
The HEA reports salary in bands rather than a median. The CSO's tax-linked data puts median graduate earnings around €625/week gross one year out, higher at master's level. Employment and contract are measured 9 months out.

Graduates of a Level 9 award — a Master's — at an Irish institution qualify for the Third Level Graduate Programme, which extends their permission on a Stamp 1G for up to 24 months: granted for 12 months, then renewed for a further 12 once you show you are seeking graduate-level work. During it you can work full-time without a separate employment permit.
Apply within six months of receiving your final results. Once you secure a graduate role, you move to an employment permit and a Stamp 1 or Stamp 4.
Tuition vs. salary
Tuition across these programs runs from €23,000 to €24,500, against a median graduate salary of $84,567.
Tuition is shown in EUR and salary in US dollars (the FT's reporting currency), so treat this as a rough orientation, not a precise return-on-investment ratio. Living costs, scholarships and exchange rates all move the real number.
