Which passport to use? EU+USA dual national entering the EU together with a non-EU family member

As your “family member” under the definition of the freedom of movement directive 2004/38/EC, your husband is a “person enjoying freedom of movement” under the definition of the Schengen Borders Code. He is therefore explicitly allowed to use the lanes marked “EU/EEA/CH.” There’s no need to be separated at any point.

You might want to bring your marriage certificate in case your relationship is challenged, but my parents have done this several times without being challenged, as have my sister and her husband.

The passport control lanes are usually divided into “EU/EEA/Swiss passports” and “All passports”. If you queue together in the “all passports” lane, you’re fully allowed to present your Irish passport there.
