If you are an EU citizen then you can work in Ireland so if you cant get Irish citizenship then try another country in the EU.
p.s. You cant marry an Irish 'girl', women have to be adults to get married in Ireland. But if you did marry an Irish woman it is not automatic that you are granted a work permit.

Citizenship can be acquired by marriage, residency, work and allegiance to the state. Thus, you can marry an Irish, reside and work in Ireland to become an Irish citizen.

Hey Mexican, before you marry an Irish woman
a word of warning in your ears, they are very loyal and dont believe in divorce so you've got a very stable family there. Even though they are quiet and friendly most times rub them the wrong way round and you've got yourself a living volcano; they come with a built in fiery temper. Dont marry them so you can achieve your purpose, do it out of love, other things will follow.

You're mistaken when you say Irish girls don't believe in divorce. Only a tiny minority of Irish people are practicing Catholics. An even smaller minority adhere to the rules of the church. Although divorce rates are lower than in the US or Britain it's still very common.
