I hope everything goes well for you...it sounds like you intend to live more than the permitted 183 days for a Irish passport holder...if that's the case you are going to need proof of income to make you application to stay in Spain...I am not to sure how much a Irish passport holder would need i...

...n funds as proof of income to make such a application...you will definitely need private health insurance...if you are a British subject that wants to live permanently in Spain then you would need proof of income of approximately €25,000 for a single person or approximately €30,000 per married couple and a private health insurance that covers you...I can't see this being any different for a Irish passport holder ..but maybe I am wrong as the so called EU seems to make rules up as and when .. enjoy the sunshine while you can.

I was told by a solicitor I would need to show proof I had an income of 7000 euros a year to live in Spain having an Irish passport.

Being Realistic if you are a single person you will need a minimum €400 per week to live on ..if your are a couple a minimum of €500. Per week providing you own your own property ..

Where does this so called 'realistic' information, you have posted, come from?  It may be your opinion but it is that and most certainly should not be portrayed as anything else. Indeed reading through several threads here your vulgar determination to spread misinformation is alarming. I get your a Brexiteer but you don't have to always be so bitter and nasty about it. Now, try and chill. Have a good day.

... out ,that things might get easier for British people to move back to Spain . Hopefully by the end of this year or next !, I’m just getting one foot forward two feet back , where trying to book a couple of weeks to come out to find some where to rent for three months, every where we look is booked .again just keep plodding on gives us more time here to keep learning Spanish , Im learning that because of the back log for Irish passports it can take up to 30 months, 

To gain a Irish passport, on the back of a spouse, you have to live in Ireland for a minimum of 2 years, thats what our neighbour has been told by the Irish authorities, as her husband has a Irish passport, but she cannot get one due to the 2 year rule.

Many countries have different rules.

Both of us now have Maltese Citizenship, as one of us was born in Malta, and lived there pre 1968, so the other gained a Citizenship automaticaly, making us now EU Citizens.
