Depends on where the non-Eu citizen is from, but I don't see why not. If there's work available for them, that is.

Yes you can. Both people can work and live in Ireland or any other EU country. There was a big case settled in the European court of Justice in Late 2009. There will be registration process to be completed and maybe an interview if they believe it is a marriage of convenience.

You can, but it won't be easy: INIS (the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service) has an entire sub-division dedicated to problem of non-EU citizens marrying Irish citizens (or other EU citizens) just to to live in Ireland. Basically, they would have to be convinced that the marriage is for real. (Also, contrary to popular opinion, just being from another EU country doesn't give you an *automatic* right to enter Ireland either. There are limitations. For example, if the Gardai believe you to be a threat to public safety, national security, or are, in some other way, an undesirable person, you can be refused entry. Also, if you stay longer than 3 months without engaging in some form of economic activity, or without being able to prove you otherwise would not be a burden on the State, you can be ejected too).
