Can you cross the border to the states, before your visa expires (say a week or 2 before it), come back and re-enter Canada and then get a tourist visa for 3 months??

I'm sure you can, I mean there's nothing illegal about it providing I have my return flight booked right??

It's my only way to spend that little bit of extra time travelling Canada, especially if work won't sponser me.

You'll need a return flight and enough funds to cover you, the border officer may also want to see something tying you to Ireland to make sure you're going to go back, you come across a border officer having a bad day and he/she can refuse you for anything, just bare this in mind.
