My wife and I are considering retiring to France.
I recently obtained an Irish passport as my mother was born there.
I am of retirement age and can apply for an S1 form.
We hope to buy a retirement home in France and bring our personal possessions from England.

We have multiple questions, but to begin with:
1 - Can my wife live in France on the basis of my Irish passport and S1?
2 - Do either of us need to apply for a carte de sejour?
3 - Would we be subject to VAT on our personal possessions?
