Is there a such thing as Irish Jewish ancestory?

YES. However, very few people would qualify as having "Irish Jewish ancestry" in that their ancestors were Jews from Ireland since the Irish Jewish community was never terribly large. (Currently, it boasts 400 members.) More likely, if you find a person who claims "Irish and Jewish ancestry" this is a person who has Jewish ancestry on one side of the family (let's say Polish Jewish ancestry on the mother's side) and Irish ancestry on a different side of the family (let's say Irish Catholic ancestry on the father's side).

Is Barbara Hershey Jewish?

Her father was Jewish and her mother was a Presbyterian of Irish lineage. In Judaism, one is Jewish ONLY if one's birth mother is Jewish. The only other way to be Jewish is to convert. Since Barbara's mother was not Jewish and she never converted, that means Barbara Hershey is not Jewish. There is no such thing as "half-Jewish."
