IELTS exam is just a means of proving your English proficiency to the university and visa officers in Ireland. This can be done by taking standardised and internationally accepted English tests other than IELTS.
On the free education part, it may be possible for students a complete fee waiver and/or living expenses support by means of scholarship or merit provided by the Irish university. But studying completely free of any costs in Ireland may be highly unlikely as there may be some other one-time registration/maintenance/enrolment charges which may be minimal but makes the education some worth rather than being completely free.&

Government and Higher Education- For government jobs or for higher education, it would be better to check what the concerned institutions or organizations require. DCU's quality of education is renowned internationally, so the degree should be acceptable in most professional sectors in India.
