hello irene, congratulations on the baby! what a wonderful news!
anyways, yes, like dec has said, your baby is an irish citizen:

Citizenship through descent
If either of your parents was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, you are an Irish citizen, irrespective of your place of birth (unless one of the special conditions relating to birth outside Ireland applies; these are described below). If the parent through whom you derive Irish citizenship was not alive at the time of your birth, but would have been an Irish citizen if alive at that time, you are also an Irish citizen. You derive citizenship through an Irish parent whether or not your parents were married to each other at the time of your birth.
If you were born outside Ireland to an Irish citizen who was himself or herself born in Ireland, then you are an Irish citizen.
you must ring the Irish Consulate in Manila for a full list of the requirements, as well as for the application of the baby's passport.
take care and happy pregnancy! <3
