You need to look at citizensinformation.ie not only INIS

De facto relationships

Non-EEA nationals who are in de facto or non-marital relationships must have permission to remain in the State as follows:

* A non-EEA national whose partner is an Irish national must provide proof of a durable relationship of at least 2 years. If the non-EEA national is granted permission to remain they are not required to have a work permit.
* If you are a non-EEA national whose partner is an EU national you can apply for a residence card if you have proof of a durable relationship of at least 2 years. If you are granted permission to remain you will not need a work permit.
* A non-EEA national whose partner is also a non-EEA national must provide evidence of a durable relationship of at least 4 years and must have an employment permit in order to work.

Basically what they are saying is your girlfriend needs to apply for a residence card instead of De Facto.

I'm in the same situation, and got all docs back the other day(not refused!) with a coverletter saying i need to complete EU Form1.

If you need more info please let me know.

It's not De Facto - the application will be dealt by EU Treaty Rights Section, your girlfriend is applying for Residence Card as a dependent of EU national (so it's important that you are (have been for quite a while) full-time worker here and have sufficient fund so your partner won't be a burden to irish government)
I'm in the same situation, got all docs back(not refused!), but will apply again

Below is from citizensinformation.ie

* A non-EEA national whose partner is also a non-EEA national must provide evidence of a durable relationship of at least 4 years and must have an employment permit in order to work.

Have you made the application? If so, please provide an update. My partner and I submitted ours about 2 weeks ago. We received our documents with a letter to take to the GNIB for a temporary 6 month stamp4 within 3 business days of sending our application. We sent it registered post and we received it via registered post.

We are now getting ready to submit one more document that they requested, which we'll be doing tomorrow. Then it's just a waiting game, but I'm currently able to work, so I'm job hunting.

I'm in the same situation as you now. I got all my documentation back and have temporary stamp 4 valid for 6 months. Nothing more we can do about it but wait.
Good luck and happy job-hunting!
