moving to Ierland

Dear members,

I hope someone can help with following. A friend of mine moved to Ireland so his wife and son can join him in Ireland. He is a British national. He has already found a job and a house. I did the same but from The Netherlands to UK. Here in the UK we first have to apply for a EEA family permit and when the family member is here, one applies for a resident permit. Can someone tell me how the EEA family permit is called when someone wants to apply for a Irish entree clearance? Which visa does one first have to apply for when the person wants to move to Ireland to join her spouse?

If anyone has relevant links can you please post it here?

Thank you for your help.
