Answer 1

Yes, you have automatic Irish citizenship so you would be entitled to hold an Irish passport.  See the site below for further information on entitlement to Irish Citizenship.

Hello,

of course you can.

Anyone born outside Ireland, whose father or mother is an Irish citizen not born in Ireland, can become an Irish citizen by having his or her birth entered in the Irish Register of Foreign Births at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin or at the nearest Irish diplomatic or consular mission. In the United States there are five offices who process Foreign Birth Registration applications. Please note that the application must be submitted to the office which has responsibility for the jurisdiction which the applicant is currently resident (see the following list).
