If eligible, should I apply for an Irish passport?

If you can obtain Irish citizenship there may be the option to hold dual-nationality and you could then use your Irish passport to evidence your right to work in the UK.  However unlike under the EU Settlement Scheme, non-EU family members of Irish nationals would not have the right to live and work in the UK unless they applied for a visa.
