How can someone have two children born the same year and months apart from each other?
Obviously they are at least nine months apart in age. For example, Mary has a child, January 1, 2019. She gets pregnant again and has another child in November, 2019. Two children both born in 2019.
(Or she has a child in September and another child in June. Both children would be in the same grade at school, even though they were born nine or ten months apart).

"Irish twins" is an outdated, sometimes derogatory term used to describe two children born to the same mother in the same calendar year or within 12 months of each other. Irish triplets are when three children are born to the same mother within three years https://www.verywellfamily.com/irish...eaning-2447174
After reading that article, I am proud to announce that I am the mother to
"Irish triplets" (all girls) born 1966,67 and 68, and I am from an Irish Catholic family
Who is more likely to do this? Is it the mother's side or is it the father's side?
Either. Or both. It takes two.
