If so how hard is it to get one. Also, if the person is an Irish-American and can prove they have Irish ancestry would that help or does that have nothing to do with it?

Proof of ancestry up to a grandparent usually suffices.

I'm pretty sure Ireland is apart of europe and not america, so yeah. If your parents are Irish citizens then that might help.

You might be eligible for an Irish passport if one of your grandparents was an Irish citizen and you have all of their records - birth certifcates, marriage certificates, copy of their passport, etc. You need to have a lot of paperwork. If not you would need to have job skills that are in short supply in Ireland in order to get a work visa. With record unemployment levels in Ireland a company has to prove that they advertised a position for minimum 8 weeks and not one qualified EU citizen applied for the job before they can offer it to you

You need a visa. Even if you qualify for ancestral citizen ship you will need to get a immigration visa or obtain your Irish passport before you can go and live there.
