I'm sorry but I don't know the answer. You should probably consult with an immigration law specialist. If you can't do that, though, I think the best thing to do is get the form (the EU1 form) you'll need to apply for a residence card here in Ireland based on your spouse's UK nationality (a Stamp 4 EUFAM) and see whether it asks you about overstaying or about criminal convictions. I just don't remember from when I filled it out. Keep in mind that when I got my Stamp 4 they fingerprinted me so if this stuff is on your record, I bet they'll find out, whether you tell them or not. Good luck!
