It might be helpful to look at the sections on Working With an Architect on the RIAI site:
http://www.riai.ie/consumer_services/working_with_an_architect/

I also found the following books helped:

Architect Your Home, Hugo Tugman, Collins & Brown
Building Your Own Home, David Snell, Ebury Press

These materials are useful to start the process of self-education so that you will have some idea of the fundamentals of design and construction. As far as your actual brief is concerned the discussions with your architect will be by far the most important part of the process.
