Hi Christy,
We can only offer general tourist advise and this is more specific and therefore the embassy is the best point of contact for you.
Here is their contact page which includes email contact details and phone numbers for various Irish embassies and consulates across the US. It might also be worth sending @IrelandEmbUSA a DM on Twitter as another point of contact.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions.
