To clarify, you are not a citizen, but you are eligible to become one since your Mom was born in Ireland. Once the Irish government sends you a citizenship certificate, then you are a citizen, and eligible to get an Irish passport. When I applied for citizenship 2 years ago, I think I needed 2 proofs of identity (passport and driver's license). I would contact the closest Irish consulate to you and they should be able to give you specific details on what you need to provide.
