If you are flying with Ryanair then they will need them to get on the plane - this is an airline requirement, not an immigration requirement. Other airlines don't require a passport specifically, but I don't know what ID they do accept for children.

On the immigration control front - technically you don't need a passport to move between the UK & Ireland if you are Irish (I'm sure someone will provide more detail, but that's the gist), but if you are queried then to prove you are Irish you likely need documentation . . . so it's sort of a catch-22.
