Normally, you would not say Yo voy a ir unless you were trying to differentiate between you and someone else. What you are actually saying is, I, unlike others, am going to go.
The phrase I'm going to go is a little bit ambiguous. Are you saying I'm going to go (somewhere), or I'm leaving?
a few examples:
- Voy a irme - I'm going to leave (sometime in the very immediate future)
- Me voy a ir - I'm going to leave (different form of the above)
- Me voy - I'm leaving (right now)
- Yo me voy - I, unlike anyone else here, am leaving, right now.
- Voy a ir a la tienda - I'm going to the store (very soon in the immediate future)
- Iré a la tienda - I will go to the store (maybe, maybe not. If something hinders me from going......)
