I got married with an Italian citizen wife in Dublin recently, and I am arab from the middle East. Am I eligible to apply for an Irish passport?

No, not yet. You have a long road ahead of you. You have to read the following:

Hi chaoclive, I appreciate your reply.
I meant after my marriage (with Italian) have been for 3years and meantime living in Ireland, am I eligible?
I went through the link you sent but they didn't mention the eligibility of Irish citizenship through European marriage.

That's because you don't have any entitlement to apply Irish citizenship after 3 years just because you're married to an Italian. If you're not married to an Irish citizen you have no special privileges and can only naturalize after 5 years of legal residence. The links I sent are completely comprehensive and cover your situation.
