    Yes, you can move to Ireland with your husband under EU freedom of movement and your husband will have the right to work in Ireland. I am not sure exactly how this works if you are "economically inactive" and dependent on your husband's income, however. Someone ought to come along with some pointers in the near future. I don't think that your husband's Finnish permanent residence gives him an independent right to establish himself in another EU country.
