Moving to IRL with EU/American dual citizenship

I have some questions about the possibility of moving to Ireland. I am currently living in the U.S, but I am part of the EU as a dual citizen of Italy and have a passport from Italy in addition to my American passport. I understand that this makes it easier for me to travel abroad all over Europe, but I'm wondering if this also means I still need to obtain a work visa to work in Ireland? If so, do I apply for one through my American or Italy passport? I have been getting some confusing advice. Thanks in advance.

This is a ink to Citizen's Information re EU citizenship (yes you can live and wok in Ireland with an Italian passport). However bear in mind we still have a high unemployment ate (compared to the the US if that's whee you are living) and a VERY high cost of living (I'd return to the US in a heartbeat if I could get work before I left Ireland!!!!) and don't get me started about the weather.
