...thought there was no point if he cannot travel with me.  Does anyone know if after I have an Irish passport, can my husband travel with me and therefore stay in Spain for longer than 90 days. 

I know all European countries are only meant to stay 90 days but before Brexit even us Brits were turned a blind eye upon.  Its only now we are out that it's strict.

Even with an Irish passport you are still required to fill in the foreigners register within the first 90 days of arrival in Spain. There may be consequences if caught out.

A lot of people who have applied and gained Irish passports are people who want to come and live permanently without all the financial and healthcare requirements. As you know its simple arrangement when you have Irish and EU passports. The married partners who have UK passports are then allowed ...
