It is neither of the two, it is the spouse of Irish Citizen having fulfilled the residency requirement in the state at least 3 years prior to his/her submitting an application. The law did not say that they must be married at least 3 years nor did it say it has to be 3years after becoming an Irish Citizen, just the residency in the state for at least 3 years before making an application.
Hope the above clears all doubt.
