The 2 Irish-born actors to win acting Oscars are:
1) Barry Fitzgerald, for Best Supporting Actor for the 1944 movie, "Going My Way" (for which he was also nominated for Best Actor, which is no longer possible), and
2) Brenda Fricker, the Best Supporting Actress winner for 1989's "My Left Foot".
More famously, Daniel Day-Lewis, who holds the record for the most Best Actor Oscars with 3 (and was nominated for 2 more), was born in England but holds duel citizenship in the UK and Ireland, dividing his time between Ireland and New York with his wife and family.
Irish-born Peter O'Toole holds the record for most Oscar nominations without a win (8), but was finally awarded the Academy Honorary Award in 2003 in recognition of his career. So, technically, he's the 3rd Irish actor to win an Oscar, though not an acting one.
Other Irish actors who have been nominated for Oscars include Richard Harris (twice), Stephen Rea, and Liam Neeson.
