You need to go through the foreign passport arrivals queue in Dublin airport and they stamp your Aus passport, don’t go through the Irish/European one as they will whinge and make you go in the other queue.

Although if push comes to shove arriving on an expired Irish passport in Ireland is not a big problem as they can’t really refuse you.

If travelling to Australia, you must enter on your Australian passport.

Make sure you bring your expires Irish passport with you.

Renew your Irish one online. It might arrive in a week or so.
