Many thanks for helping me out.
Yes, I am trying to contact HU embassy in Dublin to get an appointment but no answer yet. I will try to get through them today.
I never had visa stamp on my passport as EU family members are exempt from visa. And given the fact re-entry visa system has abolished now so I am not sure if visa are still being issued.
I am travelling on 24th December. Do you think if I visit Dublin passport office with this travel emergency after getting naturalisation certificate, could they facilitate me the Irish passport in a week? So far getting Irish passport is the easiest way I can think of. That will also save time and documentations to get HU visa. But then again it all depends if Irish passport could be issued before travel date of 24th Dec.

For visit to Hungary, yes you will need a visa unfortunately if you do not have your IRP with you. Apply for your visa ASAP. Hungary requires you to book an appointment to submit your visa application. They will most likely need to see the IRP card or at least a copy of the card when you submit your application.
How you can come back to Ireland depend on your nationality:
If you are not a visa-required national, you can simply travel back with your passport and a copy of your approval letter or naturalisation certificate (there's no need to bring the original copy).
If you are a visa-required national, the immigration officer in Dublin Airport will still let you in if you have a copy of your naturalisation certificate. The problem is, some airlines can deny you from boarding if you don't have your IRP card or a valid visa. The stamp on your passport is not a valid proof. Nor is the naturalisation certificate. Therefore, you should try to get a re-entry visa at the Burgh Quay office in the next few days as well. I think someone else mentioned on this forum that you can just bring your flight tickets, approval letter, IRP (or a copy if you don't have them with you any more) and passport to the office and they should give you a re-entry visa that covers your travel dates.
