There is what is known as a Golden Visa:

To be eligible for a Spanish Golden Visa, you must make one of the following investments:

• Purchase real estate in Spain worth at least €500,000. The real estate can be one single unit or several, with an overall worth of no less than €500,000.
• Make an investment in the Spanish public debt of at least €2,000,000.
• Buy shares in a company or make a deposit in a Spanish bank of at least €1,000,000.
• Invest in a new business that will offer employment opportunities, contribute to scientific and/or technological innovation and have a relevant socio-economic impact in the area where the business will be undertaken.

In addition to the investment, you must also fulfil the following requirements:

• You must be of legal age (+18 years old).
• You must have no history of criminal records.
• You must not have been refused a Schengen Visa in the past.
• You must have health insurance in Spain.

Because the investment is so substantial and risky, most potential applicants consult with professionals in the field of investment immigration to determine eligibility. La Vida is a consultancy and assistance company, experienced in immigration law, real estate, and international investment. Their range of experts can guide you through your options and even help you apply for the Spanish Golden Visa.

Hia, my grandmother was born in Ireland.  My father still has her birth certificate too.  

Well that makes life much easier for you, my wife’s adopted father was born in Ireland and we are currently in the process of applying for an Irish passport for my wife.

There is plenty of info on the Irish passport website, basically if you have a parent who was born in Ireland then you can apply for a passport straight away.

If your grandparent was born in Ireland but not your parents then you have to apply to the FBR (foreign birth register, info on the Irish passport page) once you are on the register you can then apply for an Irish passport, it was taking 2 years to get on the FBR but I understand that it is quicker now.

If you are still thinking of going to Spain in the future then it may be worth applying for the FBR

This is the info you need:
