Your premise is not based on actuality...
If any of your parents or grandparents were Irish, you will be entitled to Irish citizenship and/or an Irish passport if you want them. Unless you did this before your children were born, you wouldn't be able to pass this on to them though.

Northern Ireland voted to remain, I wonder if they've considered a way round this to be to allow NI to stay in the EU??

However, this could then result in England, Wales and Scotland calling to remain as well (if any of these countries voted to remain too).

Edit: Scotland voted to remain, whilst Wales and England both voted to leave.

If NI was allowed to stay in the EU as a country, I suspect that Scottish remainers would call for the the same arrangement to also be applied to Scotland.
