That depends mick where was your dad born
That depends mick where and when your dad born. Also where and when your grandfather was born and other factors. Ireland wasn’t a sovereign state until 1922. So technically your great grand dad was British and woukdnt be considered an Irish citizen until 1922.

I would be in a similar situation as my Great Grandmother was born in Ireland in 1858. My father could have applied to become an Irish citizen. However, I could only apply to be an Irish passport holder if my father had been an Irish citizen when I was born. So I would not be eligible as he never did. It is very hard to know where these things start and stop. At least, now potential candidates have to at least stop and think about it.
As above it would depend if she was still living ther/alive in 1922 as Ireland wasn’t not a sovereign state until 1922
