Can I get my irish citizenship if my mom and grandma have thiers?

No. You can only claim Irish citizenship from an Irish-born great grandparent if your mother was registered in the Irish Foreign Births Register before you were born. Your great-grandma was born in Ireland and therefore is or was Irish; your grandma is automatically Irish because of having an Irish parent; and anyone with an Irish born grandparent can claim Irish citzenship simply by getting registered in the Foreign Births Register as your mother is doing, BUT generations after that can only claim it if their Irish parent got themselves into that Register BEFORE they have children. Unfortunately your mother has “broken the chain of registration”. Ireland is very unusual in allowing citizenship to pass down any number of generations without having been anywhere near Ireland, but that condition has to be kept up for great-grandchildren and later generations or the claim to Irish citizenship is lost.
