My stupid ancestry is all Scottish and you have to go back too many generations to find me Oirish roots (My dad's maternal grandmother was from ROI).

Both of my wife's grandparents on her Mum's side are Irish but I don't know if that's on any use to our kids? ... They also both moved over to England in their 20's and had British passports etc. so I dunno if they even count as properly Irish.

No, it has to be parent or grandparent, If they moved to England in their 20s they were born in Ireland so will have Irish birth certs so your wife would definitely be eligible and maybe then that would stand as the parent with an Irish passport and your kids could get one, I dunno…. no harm in enquiring
