No. The 3 year rule only applies to spouses of an Irish citizen.

The spouse elf an EEA citizen (other than Irish) would need 5 years before they can naturalize. You need 5 years continuous residence in Ireland as spouse of an EEA citizen (or 3 years if spouse is Irish). You mention marriage for one year...that's definitely not enough.
