It was a simple process for me, as you described, to get a stamp 4 based on marriage to an irishman. I only got one year, and will need to go back next year with a marriage certificate, both passports, spouse and proof of address.
I totally agree with you - I was given advice that I'd have to wait 6 months and would require a work permit otherwise I'd not be allowed to work before residency came through (irish embassy in auckland). Basically got laughed at when I mentioned this when going in to register. They said it was a simple process - sure it's simple if you can find out what to do in the first place.
