I  have  Health  insurance  and  they will  only  cover  me for  Maximum  of 90 days  in  1  visit   and  I  would  need to return  to Republic of Ireland  🇮🇪  for  a  short  visit  of  14  days before  Health  insurance  would  kick  in  again,  but  I  have  European  medical  card.

Quite wrong, I'm afraid. Firstly, it doesn't matter if he's from South or North Ireland, all are entitled to an Irish passport. 

Secondly, an EU citizen does not get carte blanche to come to Spain and stay as long as they like. Whilst the 90 in 180 days does not apply, the maximum and EU citizen can stay in Spain in one trip is 90 days unless you sign on the register of foreign EU citizens resident in Spain. This is very e...

...asy to do but must be done in the 3 months from arrival. This will allow you to stay in Spain for longer than the 90 days but, as you say, don't go over the 183 days or you become a fiscal (tax paying) resident.

You simply make an appointment with a foreigners' office or National Police station in the province you are going to stay in. You, with a UK passport, can accompany him with the same "spouse of" register but you must ensure you keep records of your travel as going over 90 days is only valid if you are accompanying him and you must be able to prove it. You will not be able to enter the Schengen area by yourself if you exceed 90 days in 180. 

This link tells you all about it https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/ciudadanos/residencia/obtencion-residencia/inscribirte-residente.html

You make a prior appointment with the National Police at this link https://icp.administracionelectronica.gob.es/icpplus/index.html

It talks you through it by selecting National Police Procedures and then EU Citizen Registration Certificate. When completing the form ensure you tick De No residencia on the back. It also gives a link to the tax form code 790 Model 012 which you pay at a bank of about 12 euro (ish, it will tell you how much when you print the certificate).

You will require an in date passport, proof of funds (600 euro a month) and full health insurance coverage for your time in Spain which gives at least the same cover as the Spanish NHS with no copayments.

Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland are considered the same in the EU regardless of NI being in the UK

As a bystander with an Irish Passport I understood that on or just before the 90 day limit one could leave say go to Morocco leaving Spain for say one day and then returning back in order to qualify for another 90 days.

True or False?

True, as long as you depart Spain, your 90 day limit restarts from your next entry

All motor insurance policies written in the EU, and including those written in UK, must by law provide cover for minimum 3rd party risks for their duration, i.e. the full year not just 90 days. It's only the comprehensive element which is subject to limitation determined by the individual insurer...

Insurers won't tell you that as they want you to spend xxxx for an extension of the comprehensive cover. Some appear to not even know the law and insist that cover will be voided if you go over their 90 days, or whatever it is they allow!

Can't help with breakdown and health insurance.

If your husband is from Southern Ireland (which is part of the EU) then my understanding is you can apply for an Irish passport and you can both stay for as long or short as you want.  There are no time constraints between EU countries if you both hold an EU passport.

If your husband holds an EU passport and you hold a UK one, your husband can stay for as long or short as he wants between EU countries whereas you can only stay for up to 180 days.  This may explain why your passport gets stamped.  An overstayer can get you blocked for up to 3 years....

If your husband is from Northern Ireland then sadly that makes you both part of the UK so you can only stay a maximum of 180 days at a time.

I believe my info is correct but please check it out first.
