As I understand it, residency can only be in one country at any one time. If you stay in one country for 183 days per year, you're a resident there.
The issue of work permits and residency is different. If your Irish employer sends you out of the country, I'm really not sure how that affects residency.
The Immigration Service page about workers and residency contains no useful information - http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000023
Normally, I'd try calling and teasing it out, but I'm in California caring for two invalid parents who have been in and out of hospitals in the last two weeks. So, I'll have to leave it to you to call them.

: Dear Scott, thanks for the website and i
: wonder if you could please help me.
:
: my current irish residency is based on
: holding stamp number 1 which has to be
: renewed annually. In turn the stamp 1 is
: associated with a work permit and my current
: stamp 1 will expire in October 2009. The
: questions I have here are:
:
: 1)For each year how long do i have to be
: present in Ireland in order not to lose my
: stamp 1 i.e. my residency status?
:
: 2)Can I have another residency in a third
: country (other than my homeland) while
: keeping my stamp 1? If the answer is yes,
: what are the conditions? (for instance If my
: employer decides to send me overseas but
: continue to pay me from/in Dublin would that
: be sufficient for me to keep my stamp 1 even
: if I live most of the year outside
: Ireland?).
:
: any feeback and thoughts are much
: appreciated.
:
: thanks
