You could apply on the basis of your British spouse, who I guess is an Irish national aswell

Just curious...how can she apply for Irish citizenship through her husband? Even if he's Irish wouldn't she still need to meet the residency requirement? Which living in NI doesn't count I believe. And being the holder of a UK spouse visa doesn't give her any rights to reside in the ROI.

I answered my own question, thanks internet! :D So as long as the spouse is Irish then her residency in NI counts as reckonable.

Spouse isn't Irish. Short answer is NO, you can't.
