Thanks for the advice, everyone--guess I'll have to carry both passports

You must have your real passport with you anyway, because if you are a US
citizen (even if you are also a citizen of some other country) holding a US
passport it is illegal to enter the US by showing any other passport.

"Real" passport. Irish passports are real passports, too. You're
correct that the holder must have a US passport in order to return to
the US, but you could have probably used a better word other than
"real".

Surely you've read enough of my posts to know that was not my meaning.

I simply meant the passport that the poster has always used in the past for
travel, rather than a secondary one obtained as a result of a distant
connection.
