I started as Munster and managed to colonize 5 islands in the Caribbean. Then Irish West Indies country was created. After a while I released them but now I am at a loss how to switch to play them instead of Munster. Any tips?

If you are playing in normal not ironman you can simply select them the next time you load that save file. Click on the new country and hit play, that easy.

But isn't there an achievement that requires you to play as a colonial nation, so how do you do it ironman?

As I remember it, then there is a "play as CN" box you can tick in the menu where you release it.

you can release your CN by the Subject Tab (don't remember the name), anyway the last tab where you can find all your subjects. At bottom there is a button then let you play as CN (or something like that, i never tried to click it recently), anyway you should rise your CN desire of liberty at least at 50%

I think it was like tag CN"x" or C"xx". X = 1-9

The tags start with C00 and go up from there. You'll need to do a "debug_mode" command in the console to find out the specific tag (unless your memory's really good and you remember what order the CNs were created in...)

I play Ironman only. I do not remember seeing any box with play as CN box and so I did not check it. I was so eager to switch that I continued playing for a while waiting for a pop up or something to ask me if I want to switch. It is still possible for me to switch tag now?

No. You can only tag-switch on release, and only if you have CoP.
