I’m sorry, this isn’t worth arguing about.
Alan Mac is correct.
My husband IS Irish, I am British, Scottish actually, not that it makes any difference.
NI was never mentioned by me, I was the original poster.
I do know the law regarding who qualifies for an Irish passport.
It was getting clear guidance on how we both register for a period over 90 days that we couldn’t seem to find a clear answer to.
Even if I was also Irish, this was an issue for us, as it applies to EU citizens, I just happen to not be Irish and mentioned it, only in case someone knew if it would be a different process.
I could apply for Irish Citizenship, I have lived in Ireland for almost 20 years, but the rules relating to that don’t suit me and for what I want to do, I don’t need to.
As I say, I’d still need to register for longer stays.
I know some people don’t register, but I’m not interested in what some people do, but in what the law says I need to do and I got some great advice
I know I can avail of the 90/180 rule if travelling alone and any time when I’m with my husband, it doesn’t count against that, we still have to register, or risk a Schengen ban and a fine. For us it’s not worth the risk.
