If someone checked Irish immigration records and it showed that you didn't enter with the US passport, you could be suspected of being bin Laden's Philadelphia consul general and have your whole life turned upside down.

Why? I've entered several countries where they didn't even open the passport, just saw the cover and waved me through. I also have realitives who only carry their US passport to get back into the counrty, the rest of the time they use another countries.
I don't think the US government cares what you do once you leave (unless you are purchasing missle launchers or something), only that you have a US passport to reenter.
