yes u can
Too much drinking and lack of supporting of his family will lead to a father to loose his rights to his child.
The father might seek visitation and/or custody.
I think he should
I'm pretty sure that if you abuse a child or commit some kind of crime then you can loose custody of the child/children.
He absolutely cannot. The mother can call the police and they can take the child back. Most likely will he loose visitation rights if he does this or it will be supervised or in the mothers home.
A father can voluntarily sign over his parental rights, provided it is approved by the courts AND the mother, provided she's not collecting Welfare, now or in the future. When she collects AFDC, she gives up any right to claim, or not claim, child support. (see related question) If these conditions are met, he's not liable for paying child support to the child, or to free that child for adoption. He can loose his parental rights is he lives a life that would be detrimental to a child. States are now, more and more often, taking into account what is best for the CHILD. So, the behavior of the parents can have more of an effect on their parental rights. If the parent's behavior is chronically bad - drug dealing, crime, that sort of thing, they are much more likely to loose parental rights.

mother or father?
To the state? Yes To the father? Not so likely
It depends on wether he and the Irish child mother were marry before or after the child was born, which will gives him automatic rights as long as he lives- on the other side of it, he do'NT have that right automatic if not marry as the mother will have to agree with him for those rights through a declaration as provided under Irish law or the courts. If he get the rights from the court,he can loose it through the courts as it has given him those rights. No matter where he may goes or who he marries to - as long as he has rights from day one he stills has them over his child until the child seases his consent which is normally eighteen. The court can determine who may have full rights if he do'NT have them automatically.
Every state has different laws about this type of situation. In most states if the father does not pay any child support at all and has had no communication with the child for over 6 months, it is considered child abandonment and their rights can be taken away from them.
Not without a ruling of the court.
