The background is:
- I am a UK citizen and my wife is a South African citizen
- My wife has a ban from the UK for 12 months (due to an overstayed visa, mistakes were made on our end with the dates)
- I am currently in the process of acquiring my Irish passport (Irish grandparents)
We plan on moving to Cork (In Ireland) for a year until her re-entry ban is up and we can continue our lives in the UK. The initial idea was that my wife can travel to Cork without a visa (stamp on entry?) and then apply for a right to work through my Irish passport. Then we can both stay and work in Ireland for the foreseeable future.
Will her re-entry ban to the UK have an effect on any of this? I wouldn't have thought twice about it usually, but I read something online stating that the UK re-entry ban could have an effect on anyone traveling to Ireland (let alone someone wanting to move there)
