I agree with CJ on this - you already ARE and always have been an Irish citizen by virtue of your mother's birth in Ireland. You can just apply for a passport with documents confirming that (e.g., mother's long form birth cert). I'm not sure what "citizenship papers" you are referring to. Anyway, that's what I did; and it worked fine.
