Hello, D !

Your plans for your Masters Degree sound very exciting and I would be happy to give you some advice.

The reason that you probably cannot find the major stated as Clinical Psychology is because the study of psychology, especially at a Masters level, in itself trains you for working in a clinical setting, so you could go with a Masters in Psychology and once you work you can work in a clinical setting. It's all therapeutic, so it would be clinical.

Some of the titles of majors for a Masters Degree in Ireland are : Psychology, Psychology and Well Being, Applied Psychology, Consumer Psychology, Positive and Coaching Psychology, Health Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Work and Organizational Behavior Psychology, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Psychological Science, Psychoanalytic Studies, Applied Spirituality, Applied Clinical Neuropsychology, Integrative Psychotherapy, Psycho-Social Interventions for Nursing, Group Analytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness Based Interventions and a lot more that you can obtain your Masters Degree in while studying in Ireland. So there's a huge choice and any name of a major would prepare you to work in a clinical setting.

As for colleges that offer a Masters in Psychology, you should go to the individual websites and read their offerings in order to compare and choose which college you would like. Some of these colleges are: Trinity College in Dublin where you can obtain a Masters in Clinical Psychology, University College in Dublin, University College in Cork, Dublin City University, University of Limerick, Maynooth University,. According to available information (but you should explore this at the individual colleges) they all offer a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. You can easily verify this by e-mailing each school to confirm the information.

I wish you all the best in this exciting venture and hope you find a university that you will really love !
