Can I call my daughter on her cell phone while she is in Ireland from Canada? Is there an extra fee for this?

Hello Kim99,
Welcome to the community!
For you, if your daughter's cell phone number is a Canadian number, your calling it when she is abroad would be no different than if she were still in Canada. It would still be considered a call to a Canadian phone number.
However, if your daughter answers the call (or uses any other services), it would be considered roaming usage on her line since she is currently in Ireland -- roaming charges would likely apply. So no additional fees for you, but roaming charges for your daughter.
On the other hand, if your daughter elected to obtain a local SIM card for use when she is away, your calling her cell phone (with the local SIM and new local number) would be considered a long-distance call for you.
Hope this helps 😀
Cheers

easiest to use app like whatsapp or wechat. (as long as both you have wifi or data plans).
