Best Answer

If both your parents are one fourth Irish, that means that each of them has one out of four grandparents who were fully Irish (or something equivalent).

Your parent's grandparents are your great grandparents, and you have a total of 8 great grandparents. Two of your great grandparents were fully Irish, one from each of your parents.

You have 2 fully Irish great grandparents out of a total of 8 great grandparents, 2 out of 8 is 1/4 so you are one fourth Irish.
