No, you will not have the same status as your husband, you do not gain Irish citizenship on marriage by marrying an Irish citizen - there is no country in Europe where a person will gain citizenship of a country simply by marrying a citizen of that country, marriage to an Irish citizen isn't even a guarantee that you'll be granted a visa to join him in Ireland (if that's where you want to go). For you to gain Irish citizenship, you & your husband would need to reside in the Republic of Ireland for several years to become eligible to naturalise as an Irish citizen.
A person can't apply for dual citizenship, either you have a right to citizenship or you don't
As the child of an Irish citizen he would automatically have been an Irish citizen at birth although he wasn't born in Ireland - the brother who was born in Ireland was a citizen by virtue of being born there but the other two are citizens because they are children of an Irish citizen.
In order to prove his citizenship, he needs a passport - to get an application form he needs to contact the Irish Embassy in Singapore. As an Irish citizen by descent he will need to provide the long form of his own birth cert, the long form of his father's birth cert & his parents marriage certificate along with the application form & fee. The birth certificates & marriage certificate cannot be photocopies, they must be original documents.

Madman has the perception except that Germany does enable twin citizenship lower than certain circumstances (lower than age 23, twin citizenship at delivery, and so on.) Mexico on the different hand does no longer enable twin citizenship. maximum Mexican individuals which have a US and a Mexican passport are US voters and Mexican nationals (2 distinct issues).
