In the case of your grandmother she will have to provide the birth certificate(s) of her Irish parent(s), as well as the marriage license of her parents, and her own birth certificate. The process can take up to a year to complete. Since her parent(s) were born in Ireland before 1947 she is also eligible to apply for citizenship in the United Kingdom.
Your own applicant status may be different, and you would be advised to check with the UK and Irish embassies for the latest requirements for those seeking citizenship status.
American citizens, who hold other nationality, should be aware that it is a Federal crime to enter, or exit, the United States on anything other that a valid US Passport.
