Once you are a citizen, you can move here without a problem. Your husband is allowed to work and live here immediately. He is required to register at the nearest Garda station, No big deal at all. He will get a residents card and they will stamp his passport so if you travel, there will be no problem getting back into Ireland.
Children over 4 can get free preschool. There is a 2 yr habitual residency requirement before getting child benefit. There seems to be a lot of leeway on this, with Irish citizens getting benefits from day one and pepole from other EU states having to wait.
Your husband can apply for citizenship after a few years but even without it, he is eligible for all the same benefits as a citizen from living here except he won't be able to vote in the national elections.
