I've never heard of such a thing!!!
I have to say, Bill, that you are the envy of many on this Forum, being entitled to a US Passport.
It is an advantage to be able to live and work wherever you like.
I have all 3 so it can be done. (Irish, UK, US)
The bit of your post I don't understand is this:
"was going to book my ticket today but i had a reply from the us Immigration Agency..."
Did you contact them first? If so, why? If not, why did they single you out?
I mean....why couldn't you just travel to the US on your Irish Passport?
The application fee for a US Passport is $75.

You could contact the US Dept of State and ask them any questions you have, down at the bottom of this page is contact information:

If I were you though, I would consult an expert, maybe an immigration attorney, because there could be issues such as tax to consider.
For example, my husband and I have both British and US Citizenship.
I am entitled to State Pensions from both Countries, and any income I get
worldwide is taxable by the IRS, no matter where I live!
PS I'll be visiting my nephew in Brum in a couple of weeks. He lives in Ward End, and always takes me to his local Irish Pub for a Guinness.
