eu1 on EU child Ireland??

Hello
I am wondering if we could apply on basis of daughter being EU national
Me EU national non Irish, my daughter also EU after me, and my Chinese wife.
I am working and of course my wife could apply on the basis of me working in Dublin however I would like to apply on basis of my daughter being secondary school student,do you think it's possible?? I couldn't find any info about it in Internet.
I sent 2 emails to inis and they never said in reply that I can't apply this way they only suggested me that the best way will be on my employment.
What do you think about it?

I think if your wife were to apply based on your minor child it would be a chen application under EUTR. however, even if she is successful, she would qualify for stamp 3 only than does not allow her to work in the state, so it wouldn't be of any use to her.
the best solution would be for her to apply on the basis of your, the eu citizen, employment
