I don't think Luca killed the infant because it had Irish blood. He tells Filomena (the old lady) that "That kind of people must be eradicated". Filomena wonders if he means the fact that the mother of the child is Irish or the fact that the mother is a prostitute.
Personally I think it is the latter. Luca was a ruthless man, but he wasn't sick enough to kill the child because it was half-Irish. No he did it because the child was a bastardo.
