    People entering Ireland as non -EU married to UK or other EU nationals usually get 3 months visitors visa,unless they hold themselves 5 year permit.Once visa has been granted they can enter the state,letter usually accompany the visa stating they should report to within 3 months to Justice Dept.

    Once the holder of the EU/UK passport has a acommodation and a job further application follows which would give all the rights to non-EU CITIZEN.Takes few weeks.
