If your non-eea national now applies to live and work in UK, then they will have to meet the requirement of UK immigration rules.
In the past they could have relied on your irish nationality and gained residence under eea regs, but not anymore.

Soljx,
Thanks for posting.
It is very unclear that the new UKBA law is legal. You should feel very free to challenge it! Apply, get refused, and then appeal.
Where is your family member?
Have you always lived in NI? Have you done that primarily as an Irish person or as a British person?

If you are just getting your Irish passport now, then you are not likely to be in a position to challenge the new UK rules.
Have you considered living in Ireland together? You could then either work there, or commute to Belfast (or wherever your existing job is).
