UK citizen in Ireland

I'm in an usual situation. I'm a British citizen currently living in Ireland. My fiance is a US citizen.
It looks like I could theoretically get him to Ireland as my spouse before the end of this year. But I don't understand how to do that, or where to ask. Does anyone here know?
I'm desperately looking for an easier way to close the distance.

During the transition period, non-EEA family members of UK citizens have the same right to live and work in Ireland as before 31 January 2020 (https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/government_in_ireland/ireland_and_the_uk/residence_rules_UK_citizens.html).

So as long as you get your spouse a residence card: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/visa-eu-family-residence-card they can join you in Ireland.

I don't see us making that timeline as he doesn't even have a passport yet, and I can't get enough time to quarantine for us to marry there.

If there's any way you can make it work, I would definitely try... getting him an EEA Residence Card to live in Ireland with you rather than applying for a UK spousal visa for him to live in the UK with you will save you at least £10,000 in UK visa fees.

He won't do the passport because he's scared of moving. But that aside, the backlog of passport applications is taking months. And I don't know how to do the residency stuff either. Is there a step by step guide to explain how it's done?

It looks like we wouldn't qualify anyway, as I'm not working. I don't think they will consider 2500 in savings to be enough either.

Best to get him or you into a position of being comfortable to make the massive life altering move before marrying.

Any suggestions on how?

I'm eager to do it, and I have been since the start. He's afraid of everything, no matter how much I try to allay his fears.
