Nope. The only way your wife can get Irish citizenship is if you both move to Ireland (she'll need to come on spouse visa) and live here for 3 years, and then apply for naturalisation.
For spouses and civil partners of Irish citizens, you can apply for naturalisation after 3 years of marriage or civil partnership and 3 years of reckonable residence on the island of Ireland. A person granted refugee status can apply for citizenship through naturalisation once they have 3 years of residency.
You must be married to – or in a civil partnership with – an Irish citizen for three years or more. The marriage or civil relationship must be genuine and enduring.

Applying online Passport Online is the only way to apply for an Irish Passport in your country. Passport Online will return your passport book, passport card and relevant supporting documentation directly to you.
If you or your parents were born in Ireland, or if you were adopted in Ireland, you may be an Irish citizen by birth. If you are not entitled to Irish citizenship by birth, you may be able to become an Irish citizen by registering your birth on the Foreign Births Register, or by applying for naturalisation.
Applying for an Irish Passport by Descent is a two-step process. The first step is to apply to be added to the Irish Register of Foreign Birth. Once this is approved, you will receive a certificate which you will need for your passport application. The second step is applying for the Irish passport itself.
