I haven't approached any lawyers yet but trust this board experts by my previous experience. Can you guide me or show me links to follow on this board?
Appreciate your quick response.
Thanks

In principle your ambition is admirable and chimes with European ideals.
This document will help get you up to speed on free movement and treaty rights:

Key takeaways
1) A key point to grasp is that free movement is not really about chain migration.
The main beneficiary is the EEA national ie yourself.
All the principles & Directives & Regulations are to facilitate the EEA national's ability to move & to pursue economic activity
without let & hindrance across the European member countries.
2) In the context of the
Surinder Singh route, the UK has, somewhat controversially, introduced its '
centre of life' requirements & tests as a sort of wrapper around free movement.
So if you follow through with your plan you will have to consider carefully & address questions such as:
what & where any/all UK dependent family members do & move
when you move;
what happens to UK assets eg house/s, (business interests);
if maintaining links with previous UK-based employment show why you have to continue it in Ireland;
show why you cannot simply support your wider family (financially) from afar
if that is what you have done to date;
Note: none of this is embodied in European law.
For example, nothing wrong in EU law, in having 2 or more centres of life ie as citizens of the world (or Europe).
And there is no need, in EU law, to show
why someone moved within Europe (or why a non-EEA national came to Europe).
I'm simply playing Devil's Advocate here, as HO will be likely to do so too.
Also note that some of the UK provisions have been challenged & opposed by case law; however UK is yet to transpose such decisions into UK law.
Other provisions remain to be challenged when a suitable champion comes along to file the case.
