I just got my U.S. citizenship on Monday and I was wondering if I am still technically an Irish citizen? Does anyone know of a website I can find this out?

See below links:

Dual citizenship
If you are an Irish citizen, you may also hold dual citizenship, i.e.
citizenship of another country. You should be aware that certain countries
do not recognise dual citizenship. If you wish to apply for dual
citizenship, you should check with the authorities of the other country to
ensure that your rights are protected. For example, the law in some
countries provides for the automatic termination of its
citizenship/nationality if you acquire another citizenship/nationality.
You should also be aware that acquiring Irish citizenship does not
automatically void the obligations of another citizenship/nationality
(e.g. the requirement to complete military service).
2)http://www.irelandemb.org/fbr.html
Irish law permits dual citizenship and does not require applicants to
renounce any other citizenship held at the time of application. Applicants
should however always clarify the position governing the adoption of a
second citizenship with the authorities of their other country of
citizenship.

Dual citizenship
Ireland does not require foreign citizenship to be dropped in order to get
an Irish passport. In other words, Ireland allows you to be simultaneously
a citizen of Ireland and of another country. This dual citizenenship has,
of course, many advantages, in that you can readily enter and exit both
nations.
However, as a word of warning, many non-Irish governments do not allow
dual citizenship, so you might have to give up your native citizenship to
become an Irish citizen. Check with your native country's foreign affairs department for the rules that apply to you. Most notably, you can be a dual citizen of the United States and Ireland.
