As an Irish citizen waiting to be 'sworn in' as an American citizen,
Im wondering about DUAL CITIZENSHIP;
Ive read some of the other topics on the issue of American -> Irish
citizenship but they dont really cover the question of Irish to
American:
I just finished the final (painful!) step in the process of getting
U.S. Citizenship. Im waiting (3-5 months) to be called for the
'swearing in' ceremony.
Has any other CELTers been thru this process - when you attend the
court ceremony, is there any question of handing over ones Irish
passport? (Should I bring it with me?!?) What is Ireland's
official stance on IRISH/US dual citizenship?

You could not be asked to hand over your Irish passport to an American
court/authority, only to a representitive of the Irish Embassy, but I'd
be surprised if that happened. I don't think they (Irish) are as fussy.
I did this, but the other way round (i.e. American to Irish). The U.S.
Embassy in Dublin took my passport for a year (returned after six
months). I don't know whether this is a precaution against selling etc.
your extra passport or as some kind of slap on the hand.
It sounds like you've been through the hard part, the rest should just
be a formality.

In general, best not to let on to US authorities you have foreign
passport. It isn't illegal but they don't like it.

(promotion) possibilities and the Glass Ceiling etc - in Ireland/Europe
vs in U.S. But I dont think I want to open that can of worms
(here)
