I take it that you mean if a member of the Church of Ireland receive Communion in the Catholic Church. Well the Church of Ireland is an branch of the Anglican Church and thereby not in union with the Bishop of Rome, so no, a member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion in the Catholic Church. To receive Communion in the Catholic Church, you are to be Catholic united to Rome and accept the doctrine of transubstantiation in the Eucharist. Now if you are a member of the Catholic Church in the country of Ireland, yes you are allowed to because you are Catholic in that sense, but again, an Anglican member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion unless they convert to Catholicism and accept all teachings taught by the Magisterium concerning the Eucharist.

Catholic Answer

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Short answer: No, the Church of Ireland is a protestant Church, and is most definitely not in "Communion" with the Catholic Church. The only way that an Anglican (member of the Church of Ireland) may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is to convert. Pope Benedict issued a Motu Proprio several years ago, which allows Anglicans to convert to the Catholic Church and retain their own usages in the Latin Rite, it is call the Anglican usage, see link below.

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic.
