That is indeed possible though no airline currently does it directly. Similarly there are no direct flights flying eastbound either. Airlines agree to certain protocols to keep the airways safe and due to range limitations on aircraft. There is also not enough market to justify Ireland to Australia flying westbound over the USA.
Another factor is distance. Australia lies to the west of the International dateline. Dublin is very close to the prime meridian, so geographically it is a shorter distance to fly over Asia rather than the USA.
Currently if flying United/Continental for example, and the desire was to fly over the USA, the routing would be Dublin or Shannon to Newark, NJ. Then Newark to LAX and from there to Sydney. There are other creative routings also. From Newark, after arriving from Shannon/Dublin, there is a flight to Honolulu. From Honolulu there are flights to Guam and then from Guam to Cairns Australia. etc

What countries are between Ireland and Australia?
That would depend on what way you travelled or the way you might draw a line. Going by boat you could travel across the Atlantic,through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific to Australia, so you'd only go through Panama. Flying, there are no direct flights from Ireland to Australia, so you'd first have to fly to another country and then to Australia, with various possible stopovers on the way, so there are many options and many possible routes, so there are different countries you would pass over or land in. If you drew a line from Ireland to Australia, you could draw it across the Atlantic and the Pacific, and pass over very few countries, or across Europe and Asia and pass over quite a lot of countries. So there are many possible answers to your question.

How long is it to get to Ireland?
That will depend on where you are coming from. From Britain, you could get to Ireland in less than half an hour by air. From other parts of Europe, it would be anything from a little over an hour to 4 or 5 hours. Going towards Asia, you can add more hours, as you could to get to Africa. To North America, depending on where you are travelling to, it would be at least 6 hours to the east coast of Canada or the USA. It would take a lot longer to get to the west coast. Going to South America would be a lot longer, again depending on where you were going. The longest distances would be to Australia, which would be a full day flying and adding in some stopovers, that makes it even longer.
