For now as the EUTR card is not issued, he needs a visa for Ireland. However as the spouse of an EU national it should be easy to get. They are not supposed to ask you more than both passport, a marriage certificate, and a proof that you will be traveling together (plane ticket with both names I guess). The visa must be free of charge and they can refuse it unless they have a strong reason to think you are a threat to national security and public order.
I don't know if they will ask you to prove you are living in Italy, but anyway if they do you seem to have the appropriate documentation so it should be fine.
Once the EUTR residence card is issued. He will be able to come to Ireland without having to apply for a visa as long as you are travelling together (bring the marriage certificate and the Italian EUTR residence card to show to the immigration officer).
