Put an address if you have one, otherwise leave it blank.

Not relevant, no need to mention.

It's an automatic right but can be refused if it is reasonably believed that your husband's entry to Ireland might pose a threat to public policy, security or health.

No harm, especially if you make clear that you know your / he knows his rights.

Whichever you prefer. Remember - if you're in Ireland less than three months, your right of residence is unconditional and so is his (unless he poses a threat to public policy, security or health).
hi, just thought i would show you what it says on the vfs website where we are supposed to apply;

he does not pose a threat to anyone, health or otherwise! what does public policy mean?
