If Monifé is a British citizen with the right of permanent residence in Ireland, then Monifé's partner may be the partner with whom a Union citizen is in a durable relationship, duly attested and so entitled to have his residence facilitated by Ireland.
First things first, Monifé should apply for the "document certifying permanent residence" to which she is entitled. This is described in Article 19 of
Directive 2004/38/EC. It is referred to in Ireland's
Statutory Instrument 656 of 2006 (Ireland's transposition of the Directive), in Section 15 (referred to as a "permanent residence certificate"). Monifé should apply for her permanent residence certificate straight away, using form
EU2. It's free and must be issued as soon as possible. Note that submission of Monifé's British passport (better apply for one at the British embassy if not already) will be required with her application.
Now, I'm assuming that Monifé and her chap have been in a "durable relation, duly attested" (living together) for at least two years? Note that two years isn't a requirement in law, but it is in practice. If so, then this fellow
is a person described in Article 3(2)(b) of Directive 2004/38/EC:
So, he then submits an application for a "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen" (known in Ireland as "Stamp 4 EUFam"), using form
EU1, making explicitly clear that he is applying as the partner with whom a UK national is in a durable relationship, duly attested, and that UK national has acquired the right of permanent residence in Ireland.
Along with the EU1 form, Monifé's chap should submit his passport, Monifé's British passport, proof of their durable relationship, proof of address and, crucially, Monifé's permanent residence certificate.
The application must be processed within six months. The Department of Justice will probably go through it with a fine tooth comb, especially due to his nationality and immigration history here. However, once the criteria for residency under EC law is met, the Department of Justice cannot refuse to issue the Residence Card.
