Irish citizens are subject to normal immigration checks upon re-entering the State, including being requested to provide documentation to verify they hold Irish citizenship.

I can advise the Deputy that Section 4 of the Immigration Act 2004, sets out the full range of grounds under which a person may be refused permission to enter the State, however, these provisions are not applicable to Irish citizens.
