If your great great great grandfather was your only ancestor from Ireland then you would be 1/32 Irish since you have 32 great great great grandparents.

That would be slightly more than 3%.

Are more Irish-Americans living in the US than there are Irish people living in Ireland?

There are over 6 times more people claiming Irish ancestry in the USA, than people living in Ireland. Claiming to be Irish-American is very subjective, as some may have Irish ancestry that is several generations back, like one great-great-great-grandparent, meaning their link to Ireland is very small. Others may have both parents that are Irish, giving them a much stronger Irish ancestry. The figures don't specify how far back the Irish ancestry is.

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).

Your grandad has ancestors from Ireland does that make you half Irish do you have any Irish in you at all?

In reality, only those ancestors are really Irish. The generations after that are of Irish descent, but are now from the country that they now live in. What made those original people Irish is that they were born in Ireland, grew up in Ireland, lived in Ireland, were educated in Ireland and so on. The generations after that would have done all those things in different countries. So the things that made their ancestors Irish are the things that make them be from their own country. So you are not Irish, but you do have Irish ancestry, plus the ancestry of your other grandparents, wherever they and their ancestors may have come from.
