You must declare dividends as income (taxed at your marginal rate of 0%, 20% or 42%) to Revenue and you may be further liable for the difference between Irish and US (witholding) tax. Did you ever file a US IRS W-8BEN (see here) or similar form to avoid US witholding taxes (on gains whatever about dividends)? You may need to get independent, professional advice on this matter.
