    I think it qualifies you to be a clinical dietitican so persumably the salary scale would be in line with other health care professionals? I also think you may have to get chartered status before you can go into private practice so at least you would need to gain some experience. Again this is all hearsay but AFAIK historically after a course like that alot of people had to go to the UK to gain experience and then come back here to work, but this situation has improved. Your best bet is to phone up whoever runs the course and have a chat with them if its something you are interested in presuing. I knew people in college doing that course and it is pretty tough going. Anyhow the details are here http://www.dit.ie/DIT/study/undergraduate/programmes08/dt223.html
    There of course is also the possiblity of going into research afterwards too.
