Hi John.
I am heart scared of marrying her, then her coming to Ireland for the 1st time, getting weather and culture shocked, and then doing a runner!
With fiance visa she has an option of seeing this place for herself before taking the plunge.
I will however try and find some more info on the Family Permit as you have suggested.
A_Flyer - we live in a bizarre situation in Northern Ireland that we can hold 2 passports - UK one and an Irish one. (I suppose it keeps everyone happy, as we have had the odd spot of bother here!).
