Yes (https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications).

(Incidentally, lecturers can't witness Irish passport applications, even though teachers can!)

"hold a British or Irish passport which has not run out."

Just to make it explicitly clear:

Does "IRISH passport" mean -the person is from Ireland?

what does this mean -"Irish passport "?

It means that he holds a passport issued by the Irish authorities i.e he is Irish.

Thanks for your quickly response and help.

May I conclude that:

"Irish passport holder (Ireland citizen)- Lecturer, living in UK can sign in the Passport application form in the section 10 (Countersignature)." ?
