A good question with a complex answer and one that is mired in the recent history of the two countries.

Yes, if you literally mean can you physically hold a passport in your hand in the UK, as long as it is yours or the person it belongs to gave you permission to hold it.
If you mean can a citizen of the Republic of Ireland have a UK passport then no because only Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

yes, but because both countries accept dual nationalities although if you were to acquire a UK passport you would gain one just as any other person would gain UK citizenship.

Yes. You can either keep the passport from the ROI or apply for a British passport.

only if one or both of your parents were born in what is concidered mainland UK. Otherwise you can only hold an R.O.I passport.
