Yes, you can apply for U.S. citizenship if you owe child support, but you will need to supply proof either that you are current in your payments or that you are on a payment plan/agreement to make you become current. If your payments are not current, there is a chance that your application may be denied.

"Good moral character" is a requirement in order to become a US citizen and if you did not pay your child support, the officer may decide that you do not meet this requirement, however if you are paying your child support on time, there is no reason this should be a problem.

Can an American citizen file for child support from a Irish citizen?

It can be done. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
