Ireland isn't in Schengen, but a French person can move there tomorrow for work or study etc. They have to show a passport at border control, but otherwise face a very similar situation as they would moving to Germany (fill in some papers, get a local tax id etc).

Minor nitpick: you don't need a passport to travel to/from EU countries not in Schengen as an EU national - your national ID will do.

In practise I forget that, as neither of the two countries relevant to me issue(d) national identity cards (UK, Denmark).
