what nationality is your daughter ? which EU country ?
Ireland is also an EU country.

If she has another EU nationality there is no gain to be Irish, especially if living in Ireland, you actually suffer discrimination being Irish in Ireland.

Was the child even born in Ireland? If not the child will have to go through normal procedures to get Irish Citizenship, unless one of the parents naturalised.

If the child was born in Ireland, did any of the parents have reckonable residency for 3 years before the child's birth?

Is Zambrano only applicable to children and their rights in their own EU countries? If that is the case, then Chen applies and therefore, under Chen one would need to be self sufficient. So its hardly a bad idea to have Irish citizenship, on that basis

How does "you" suffer? "you" or op is not an Irish citizen

If she was born on the island of Ireland, the 32 counties
she may qualify for an Irish passport, depending on
legal residence of a parent for a number of years before birth.

otherwise sorry, you cannot swap nationalities like that,
she will qualify for Irish Naturalisation after 5 years residence, and
another two or three years after that to process the paperwork.

Depending on country, a child's first passport is usually for 3 or 5 years,
but subsequent passports validity will be longer as she gets older.
