Why do you want to do this?

I moved to the U.S. from Australia when I was 9 years old. I am 20 now, which means I have spent more than half of my life in a country in which I have only remained a permanent resident. Although this does not in any way change who I am, it is more of a formality than anything to be able to say I live in the United States and am also a citizen. It will also make traveling to other countries a lot easier, instead of having to obtain visas.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Wait until May when I have been an official permanent resident for a full five years.

Hope that going to Ireland and becoming a citizen does not clash with each other, and they will let me leave the country

Pass the citizenship test

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

The timing of everything

What an exciting transition! You've been here for so long, now it's time to make it official. Is the test something you have to study for? I imagine you went to school in America, so your history classes would've given you *(hopefully) all the information you'll need. Do you have a deadline set for yourself? And if you're going to be left in another country, I definitely can think of worse places than Ireland. LOL
