there are many, but the main ones would be:
- Mr.Birling's mention of the 'unsinkable titanic' which is ironic because it is the exact opposite to his prediction
- also birling's view on the world's development and lack of time for war, this is ironic because straight after this is the 1st world war followed by the second.
- when the inspector rings the doorbell of the house, birling is explaining to Eric and Gerald about responsibility ; the inspector explains the moral meaning of responsibility and shows Mr.Birling he is wrong .
this is all i can i think of now, hope it helped ;)
there is also a lot of dramatic irony used in this play, for example the second world war and the "unsinkable titanic" alongside the ending where the inspector leaves, they discover hes a fake, go back to normal the get a call explaining that a girl had just died, this is irony as it brings out their true colours, and show their reaction/releif when the inspector is found to be a fake, then theyre back to where they started. it's ironic because they discover no girl had died, they celebrate, then the real Eva Smith does die.

One example of irony in "An Inspector Calls" is when Mr. Birling confidently dismisses the possibility of a scandal, only for the arrival of the Inspector to reveal the family's involvement in Eva Smith's death. This highlights the hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the upper class characters.
