No irony. Telemachus was an infant when Ulysses went to war. It was 20+ years later when he returned. It was only through the stories of the servants and his mother that, when the dog recognized him, he knew it was his faher. I would say the more ironic part is the dog died after his seeing master come home...a lone soldier standing guard over the king's domain.

One of ironies in Hamlet is that Hamlet's father has died because his brother killed this a poison and he showed himself to Hamlet to ask his son to revenge his unfair father's death. And Hamlet wants to revenge his father's death but he is not sure because the ghost who he saw could easily being the devil himself disguised as his dead father. And he starts to think about this and he says: "To be or not be, there's the dilemma" and the irony takes place when he decides to pretend to be crazy and find out the truth about his father's suspicious death. He only could prove his uncle is really guilty, dying not only him. His mother, his uncle, the woman he loved died. Which declares Hamlet as one of the most greatest written tragedies of the human history and gives us a lesson about the revenge, the death and the family honor and how could this could be lost for a vendetta.

It's not possible to answer this question without knowing more information about the context. There is nothing inherently ironic about having a conversation with your father in ordinary circumstances. Irony is a difference between intended meaning and reality - like when you say "this weather is great" when it is really terrible. An example of when it might be ironic to have a conversation with your father is if one of you was promising not to talk to the other - but you were talking about it. This would be ironic. Another example would be if you were trying to get your father not to do something for you by having the conversation, but the result of the conversation was that he did what you did not want him to do. That would be an ironic result.
