My wife (non eea citizen) is about to apply for her permanent residence-EEA4- after living in uk for the past 5 years , ( we got married over 5 years ago )  .I am an Irish citizen with permanent residence .Apart from our passports and marriage cert what else do we need to include with the application , I presume all her work record for the past 5 years , do I need to provide  documents or is it only my wifes proof that she has been exercising treaty rights ?

Look on the EEA4 form. It's your work evidence that is crucial.

If you don't have a permanent residence document, proof of your exercise of treaty rights for five years. Also proof of your wife's residence in the UK for the five year period, which can be payslips, etc. what matters is that you were exercising treaty rights or show you already had permanent residence, but the HO also needs to see that your wife was residence without excess absences.
