Hi was wondering if I can get some advice. I (British) and my wife (non eea), are currently residing in Ireland. Have been here since mid November and have had work for about two months now.

Question is, would we satisfy the family pertmit rules under SS i.e. centre of life test.
The second question is that I have been reading about this MET test being applied when applying for RC would a minimum wage earning 150€ a week be enough to satisfy the demand or am I understanding it wrong.

Currently we have,

Tenancy Agreement
Utility bill under my name only
Two payslips
Letter from my employer
Tax credit
PPS number both of us
Hospital bills
Sky
Library Card

Any help would be great,

The Minimum Earnings Test (MET) is explained quite clearly in this article:

Thank you for that. Can I also ask if the proofs I have is sufficient to get a eea FP?

I can't comment on that with any real conviction. There are others who will have direct experience who are better placed to advise. However, I don't know how long you intend to remain in Ireland, but two months of employment/payslips won't be sufficient to prove you've been exercising your Treaty rights there.

Laughable that the MET test would be used on someone earning in another country and that too a different currency.

People also need to be aware that that "24 hours a week" is based on the welfare payment Working Tax Credits minimum for a couple, to be called workers.

Under the welfare reforms which are getting rolled out across the country, WTC will be replaced by the new welfare payment Universal Credit. Under UC, that 24 will change to 35 hours a week minimum for a couple.
