The full text of the Convention is here.

Details of signatures and ratifications, and any declarations and reservations made by state parties, are on this page. From that page you can see that Ireland signed the Convention on 30 September 1990 and, when it did so, it made a declaration to the effect that, when it came to ratifying the convention (which is what makes it binding on a state) Ireland reserved the right to make " such declarations or reservations as it may consider necessary".

Ireland ratified the Convention on 28 September 1992 and, in the event, made no declarations or reservations.

Under the Convention, Governments submit regular progress reports on how they are implementing it, and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child then responds with "Concluding Observations". The most recent report submitted by Ireland was in 2013; it's here. I don't think any response from the UN Committee has been published yet.
