Is your US passport current, I don't see this as an issue for you, you are domiciled in Ireland and tax resident here, yes uncle Sam does tax its citizens on worldwide income but cannot see how this relates to you.
The time you went there... I bet you went on your Irish passport as well.
You could reach out as they say to a US based accountant for advice.
I recently found my US passport in my mothers house
This is clearly the solution here. There is no way the Americans can trace someone born there 33 years ago to you. Nor would they want to, never mind be looking for you......... lose it again!
Like Manuel in Fawlty Towers ... you know naaaaaaaaaaawthing.
Generally there’ll be little or no US income tax payable, but there is a compliance cost. And there are other taxes to be concerned about. A non-compliant individual can regularise the position by completing the Streamlined Process; this essentially involves submitting 3 years of returns and then remaining compliant.
US citizens pay tax on their worldwide earnings. So income in Ireland would be subject to US tax. This could be offset against Irish tax under the tax treaty but in effect you'll pay the higher of the two. There could also be penalties for not declaring previously
On the plus side - you get to vote in the next general election

Don't you mean that the Irish tax is offset against the US liability - Irish taxman gets first bite of the cherry here!
