Yes, if born after the parent became a naturalised Irish citizen.

Register the child in the Foreign Births Register, usually in the Irish embassy nearest to where the child was born. The parent needs their certificate of naturalisation or Irish passport to do this, and the birth cert of the child naming the Irish citizen as the parent.

Then the entry in the Foreign Birth Register and the birth cert are needed to get the Irish passport.

If the child was born BEFORE the parent became a citizen they are not automatically a citizen, but the parent can bring them to Ireland and gain citizenship for the child after the usual period of residence, about 5 years.
