It is simple.
She needs her passport, your passport and an original marriage certificate. She can apply for a visa if she is from a visa required country, with a letter stating that her EU citizen spouse intends to travel to Ireland to look for work, and she wishes to travel with him (or to join him, if she is travelling from Turkey and you from the UK).
Then the visa is free and she should have it within two months or less. She will be given a short temp visa to allow you to get a job.
Then you both travel to Ireland and the easiest thing is for you to get a job within three months. then she takes your payslip as proof to show that you are an EU migrant worker and she gets a 5 year stamp for Ireland.
It is advised that you both get a pps number as soon as possible after you arrive in Ireland.
There is no financial requirement and there is no length of marriage required, just a valid marriage certificate. You do need to get a job within three months, but it does not need to be well paid.
