That was very very helpful
Can I also ask you what documents you have provided?
And what was the reason for your wife,s UK visa refusal?
Same time applying your visa,did you contact EU c?
Do I have to write any explanation to that UK refusal visa or just leave it to them?
Very appreciate it

My name is (ur name) (British Citizen, passport number: xxxxxxxxxxxx)
I am planning to travel to the Republic of Ireland on 5th November. I Plan to exercise my EU Freedom of movement/treaty rights from 5th November 2014.
I wish my wife (her name), Date of Birth: 1st jan 1980, Passport number: xxxxxxx) to accompany me. I kindly ask that you issue her with an Accompany Spouse visit visa (c-visa) for The Republic of Ireland. I would like the visa application processed under the EU Law Directive 2004/38/EC as I understand she is entitled to this visa and for it to be processed quickly under the directive.
I have enclosed some wedding photos and the original marriage certificate to show our relationship to each other.
I have also enclosed a proposed itinerary (go to a travel agent and get them to print a flight route u can book), where we plan to stay and a copy of my passport.
If you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I thank you for your time in dealing with our visa request.
Yours Sincerely

as for uk refusal she was refused a visitor visa before we married she wanted to meet my parents, they denied it as we didnt show enough evidence of our relationship and we didn't realise at time how strict they were with supporting paper work, best include covering letter explainig why you were refused and include extra paper work to prove why they were wrong to refuse it, in our case we showed photos and where we worked together to show irish immigration, but it should have no affect on the outcome of a C Visa and always be honest and show refusal letter without it them seeing refusal letter they will not process the c visa, far as i know they have to inform the uk home office you are in ireland thats all, so help them and they will help you
good luck
p.s u can use my letter as a template but personalise it so they know u did not just copy it , re-write in ur own words
