If you study Criminal Justice in Ireland can you become an FBI agent?
You can become an FBI agent after studying any subject, anywhere. The minimum educational requirement to become an FBI agent is a bachelor's degree in any subject.
Criminal justice might not be the best field of study for this career. The FBI is partial to law school graduates, accountants, linguists, engineers, and scientists. Most of the knowledge one would accumulate in a criminal justice degree program is taught during New Agent Training at the FBI Academy. There are many applicants for Special Agent jobs, and one needs to have special skills and considerable accomplishments to be considered.
One critical requirement to become an agent is U.S. citizenship. If you studied criminal justice in Ireland as an Irish citizen, you would first have to emigrate to the United States and obtain citizenship before you could apply to the FBI.
Can someone be convicted based solely upon a confession?
yes
A person can be arrested based on a confession; getting a conviction is another story. Although it happens often especially if a defendant pleads guilty, juries may want more information to convict than solely on the confession. That's why you need a lawyer.

Can an omission be considered a crime?
Yes, both an "act" and "failure to act" (omission) can be crimes. One analysis defines it as the failure to act when you know you have a duty to act and have the ability to act. This refers to "legal" duty, not "moral" duty.
Some examples: failing to file a required tax return, failing to register locally as a convicted felon, failure of a parent to obtain medical help for a child, failure to stop after a vehicle collision, failure to rescue someone fallen overboard from your ship.
Other examples are a bit harder to spot: failure to stop someone who is beating your child, failing to rescue a comrade injured in a remote wilderness (murder?). Failure to maintain fire safety in a nightclub has resulted in indictments for criminal manslaughter when deaths occur from a fire. There may be a difference in punishment between negligent omissions and reckless or intentional omissions.
The legal duty to act may arise from the relationship with the victim (parents), or relationship with the criminal (parents, employees), or by statute/ordinance (specific definitions of required acts), contract (e.g., crossing guard), land ownership (pollution, security for visitors), intentional creation of danger (punched someone in the street and left him to be run over), or by voluntary assumption of the duty (guardians).

Overall, Mexico is quite dangerous for American/European standards, but it is much safer than most of the third world. Also, crime is limited to regions that are ports of entry and distribution of drugs into the United States.
The best way to measure how dangerous a region is, is the homicide rate, or intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. While the US has an overall rate of 3.9, Mexico has a rate of 15.7, which puts Mexico as safer than say, Brazil (24.6) or South Africa (33), but more dangerous that either Costa Rica (10) or Russia (9.5).
Even then, crime is not homogeneous. Some regions within Mexico are extremely dangerous, such as the southern state of Guerrero, with a homicide rate of 67; its most important city, the beachside resort of Acapulco, has a homicide rate of 104.73, setting this region as equally as dangerous as say, ISIS-infested countries.
On the other hand, there are places safer than most of the developing world, such as say, Aguascalientes or Yucatan (3 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants).

Retribution is basically the principle of an eye for an eye. According to Ernest Van De Haag it is the paramount reason we should punish. The difference between revenge and retribution is that revenge is emotional, personal, and there is no upper limit (punishment is never enough). On the other hand retribution is rational, delivered by the state, and is just deserts.
Try to take a look at the capital punishment debate article on wikipedia. There is a section on retribution that could help you out.

What are the three agencies of criminal justice?
The three agencies in criminal justice (in a consensus model, like in the United States) are the police, criminal courts, and correctional agencies. A case will go through the agencies in that order, starting with the police (which identifies crimes) and ending with the correctional agencies (once the agency reforms and reintroduces the convict to the public). The police identify and investigate crimes, the courts hold trials and sentence those found guilty of crimes, and the correctional agencies carry out the sentences that the courts set.
