One of my Asian friends is looking for a job in Ireland thru headhunters. I read somewhere that non-nationals have limited rights in Ireland. What does it mean.

All non-nationals have to register with the police and get their residency permit sorted, and if they are not EU nationals, they also need to get a work permit sorted. Your friend will need to find a job before coming to Ireland and have a letter from the prospective employer stating that they wish to employ him.
This is not to discriminate against non-nationals, it is in fact a way of checking up on everyone who moves to Ireland and making sure that they do not have a criminal record and are not likely to be dangerous.
When I moved to the Netherlands in 1993, I had to go through the same process with the Dutch Alien Police.
Tell your friend to bring his passport with him when he goes to talk to the police in Ireland.
