Weekly/Monthly/Annual tickets exist and can be issued by both Irish Rail and Translink. Monthly tickets require CIE ID card. Price is available from Irish Rail for any station pair upon application
From a practical point of view an Irish Rail issued ticket will be a lot easier to deal with
Taxsaver is the really the only way to make this commute work, you will get an old style Irish Rail smartcard not a leap card and this will be endorsed 'Lansdowne Rd - Newry' so the folks in Newry will know what it is
There is no need to tag-on/off if it is an annual/monthly ticket, its valid regardless, so proceed directly between any connecting trains.
But you should tag on/off when you encounter a turnstile or validation post. Your next months ticket has to be downloaded to the smartcard so you have to tag on/off to ensure this gets picked up.
