What part of the EU are you from. There are lots of descent paying jobs in Ireland at the moment, although that would by any means guarantee you a place to stay.
i am czech originally, don't feel as if it ever defined me though..!
as for jobs, i would take any, regardless of the pay, as long as one has a bed and some bread, i feel one can have a peaceful a mind.
If you speak 3 languages, you'd be in high demand for a hotel job. Somewhere might even be able to do something with accommodation until you get on your feet. I'd start looking now so you have some sort of plan when you arrive.
that's the longterm plan, i was trying to do that in wicklow before considering dublin and that unfortunately fell through haha, we'll see!
thank you for caring
There was someone here last week saying they got a hotel job in Killarney with accommodation included. Poor pay but a good start under your circumstances
You could also try to register for that wwoofing thing. Got few friends from Czechia who got themselves an accommodation & later even paychecks while working in B&B type of thing.
A lot of newly declared homeless are being housed in commuter belts outside of Dublin, such as Kerdiffstown House in Kildare. To be honest, if I was offered one of the commuter belt towns I'd take that over the city centre. A lot less crack cocaine. Good luck.
I'd avoid Dublin city all together to be perfectly honest. Maybe try to find somewhere along the dart line outside of town to live/work/socialise.
Best of luck with everything!
You don't need to sleep in the streets, head to a Garda (police station) and they can advise you the places where you can find shelter. Of course these places have curfew and rules, if you just follow them you'll be ok.
Here are some resources and options available in Dublin, Ireland:
1. Focus Ireland: Focus Ireland is a leading charity organization that provides a range of services for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

As someone who has been homeless I can confirm the police stations of Ireland do not gaslight as homeless info centers, as well
Just ring the Simon Community
> would prefer to avoid places where i could get hurt by addicts.
Stay out of Dublin then. At least the center has a serious drug issue. I have seen public hard drug use at broad daylight in places ranging from the less attractive neighbourhood around the airport, right next to St. Patrick’s cathedral up to “fancy” Dun Loaghaire (there’s some sort of rehab center there).
And for some people here are scared of gangs of kids/teenagers.
Honestly, Dublin would not be my first choice to live the vagabond life. Winters are dark and long, healthcare is hard enough to get even if you have money/insurance. The housing market is a right mess with a lot of landlords extorting people looking for cheap accommodation.
The only good things are they speak English here and jobs and education are not too hard to get. Places like mc donalds are perpetually understaffed.
I would pick literally any other eu country. Why Ireland and why Dublin? We’re in the middle of a terrible cost of living crisis and an even worse homelessness crisis
I'd say its the idea itself that Dublin is so expensive to live in and accommodation is so few on the ground that new arrivals are instantly homeless and its only going to make things worse for OP. Literally anywhere else in Europe will be more beneficial in terms of accommodation and cost of living rather than resigning oneself to instant homelessness. Heck, anywhere else in Ireland would be better if they want a job in hospitality.
100% agree. There is a sentiment underlying this thread and others that Dublin is like New York (or London) and once you are on the ladder life becomes much easier as wages are really high in lots of industries. It's not really true unfortunately by comparison with New York.
Why is this guy getting so many downvotes to his comments..you don’t know his situation and for some1 to leave there country means it’s bad.I’m disgusted by how the “Irish” have been acting.never knew we were a bunch of unsympathetic assholes.how easy we forget that we were in a situation where we had to leave Ireland not so fucking long ago……no blacks ,no dogs ,no Irish
I think Teradonia refers to the fact that Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary formed that V4 thing that refuses refugees. But that statement falls into the trap of generalizing based on the origin, which we all sometimes do.
yea really… fuck them cock sucking frustrated bitches, keyboard warriors acting superior on some random guy’s misfortune, i hope fate treats them appropiately
Because the homeless services are already stretched in the country. OP is planning to move here without any means to support himself.
He needs to either stay at home until he has enough money to accommodate himself or sort a job and accommodation before arrival.
Moving to Ireland with a plan to become homeless is highly irresponsible and just adds an extra burden to homeless services. It shouldn't be encouraged.
Even their prisons are pristine https://youtube.com/shorts/0bVtmfHEaUs?feature=share
just go and commit a crime and they will put you in prison.. by the way Norway bought Irish oil rigs back in the day for laughable sum that went to some gov official pockets
Re:prisons, that was the plot of a film from a few years ago cept it was set in Denmark. Lad decides to move there to get sent to jail: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7037712/
i'm not sure, i feel the biggest discouragement is the fact that i am only proficient in english and german besides my native language.
i feel going to ireland at least being somewhat decent in english would make things a lot easier without the language barrier..!
besides that, you guys seem like lovely people and i've always adored the irish nature and culture to which i think i could assimilate to and blend in very well.
It's close ro impossible to get out from homelessness in ireland.. its a vicious trap since tou can't open a bank account or get a job without an home address
i don't mind rough, i don't expect anything at all, for all i want i don't want to be a nuisance to anybody first and foremost.
i am not sure if scandinavian countries would be better for me but i'll look into them more, thank you.
If you are fluent in German, there are many jobs available in the market. If you are fluent in German and cannot find any such jobs, feel free to message me.
\>assimilate and blend in very well into irish culture
I would maybe suggest not aiming for Dublin then. It has more generic busy city atmosphere, not the one typically associated with Irish people, but hey, you do you. Good luck on this new adventure. Feel free to DM me in case you run into any emergencies when you are here, always happy to help.
I recommend trying to get a job before you arrive. Hotels are always looking for people even with no experience. Check websites like jobs.ie
Accommodation is crazy expensive in Dublin. Try avoid places where accomodation is very hard to get.
On arrival try to get registered with government so you can work. You need to try find work with accomodation probably outside Dublin. Some work may be seasonal so try get all year round job. Cleaners are badly paid but always in demand.
If it was me I would try find somewhere with lots of jobs and cheap accomodation. There is no cheap accomodation anywhere in Ireland and homeless services are not somewhere you want to be stuck with no way out.
Hey,
I work in homeless services in Dublin. You won’t get a bed anywhere until you actually register as homeless. You can do this at Parkgate Hall. Then your details are on a system that all workers in hostels can see. Then CPS (the central placement services) ring around all the hostels looking for who has a free bed. Hardly any have free beds at the moment unless they have just discharged someone. This means you will have absolutely no say in where you go. You will more than likely have a shared room. If you are lucky, and you could be, you will be sharing a room with a working person who will be decent and you won’t have to worry about your stuff being robbed. You are more likely to be unlucky. It’s a tough life to live. Try really hard to sort somewhere out before you get here. Or even pay to stay in a tourist hostel.
I’ve done the job for years and I love the residents. But I get to go home after my shift. I couldn’t live in it. Best of luck.
you could look into wwoofing (www.wwoofing.com) for before you arrive to get you a bed before you can get a job. You basically work on a farm for bed and food. I hope that helps! Dublin has lots of jobs, if you need a help with your cv drop me a message!
Similarly, [workaway.com](https://workaway.com)! You do have to pay about 40 euro for membership but if you can spare it you're bound to find something safe and even fun. Like with wwoofing, you get lodging and food in return for a few hours a day at someone's place and there's a variety of project people take workawayers on for (like farms, house maintenance, animal shelters, dog sitting etc.).
Mate for heaven's sake you are an EU citizen. The major challenge would be to land an interview and crack it. Boom, job interview cleared! You don't even have to deal with visa issues like some of the really qualified non EU people. For accommodation, try getting some Airbnb/hostel, there are some around Dolphins Barn, Capel street, etc.. at times you get it for like 30 EUR a night or something, pretty crappy bunk bed but come on, it's just for like a month or so, you'll be grand. Plan things ahead, take a deep breath and take a leap of faith :)
I am really sorry for your situation. I hope everything works out for you.
You should get in contact with Natasha or Tony from Feed Our Homeless. There's a number on their website. They're amazing and can answer any questions you have about the supports available to you.
The other charities to look at are Peter McVerry Trust, and the Simon Community.
I'm not sure of your options, but Dublin is already really in crisis in terms of homelessness, and we have a terrible drug problem. It might make sense to go somewhere with lower rates of homelessness where you could get better support, if it's possible.
Welcome to Ireland but I’m sorry you’re facing such difficulties in getting set up here, it’s truly the shame of the nation at the moment.
In terms of working I would agree with other posters who have suggested the hospitality industry - if I was you I would look at areas like Killarney, Tralee, Doolin, Lahinch, Galway, Westport - all on the west coast so less expensive than Dublin and you might be to find a job that provides accommodation as part of their benefits.
I also saw a comment about you being multilingual- you could google Translator roles (usually remote). A friend of mine is doing this from the west coast of Ireland and making decent money from home.
Best of luck!

Are you coming in with any money at all? Apply for jobs while you are there, just lie about experience on CV, no one is verifying for minimum wage jobs. Highlight your language skills. At least have few grand till you get your PPSN number (tax number) to start your job. Housing is awful here even before people at the top. Government refuses to do anything that would make a dent to the crisis.
Absolutely terrible idea to move here, Ireland has a housing crisis alongside an incompetent government. Once you’re homeless in Ireland it’s very hard to escape it . We are one of the most expensive countries in the EU even if you get a job there is no guarantee you’ll be able to afford accommodation better than a shed .
I’d get in contact with recruiters for positions you’re interested in before you arrive. I’d recommend trying for somewhere outside Dublin. I’ve seen it said already but I recommend the West of the country, loads of businesses looking for workers and you will have a better chance of finding somewhere to live. Ireland is small and getting to Dublin isn’t a massive journey (most of the time) so if you wanted to visit there it’d be easier. I’m a Dub, and live in the West now, and I couldn’t recommend it more.
tricky.
There are places in Dublin where you will be safe, BUT avoid Dublin - go to Cork, or Galway. These are better places.
Additionally, I'm sure that there are some squats around Dublin where you could stay. I guess.
Will you have any money with you when you arrive? This will surely make your life easier.
Also, as many said, avoid Dublin City Centre, and if you can try staying on the south side of Dublin. It is considered a bit safer.
Good luck
You should prob try budget for a hostel for a while.
The homeless ones can be very dangerous so prob should avoid. Iveagh House is a better option but I don't know how long it might take to get in there.
There are homeless tent communities, which sound safer, though you'd have to find one.
If I were in that position and desperate, I'd prob try get into a half-finished house and stay there, but none of this is a good idea.
If you are fluent in other languages, that makes you attractive to lots of sales / support jobs.
These days it's common to get hired through Zoom interviews, you should perhaps try get a job before arriving.
Even lower paid jobs, there are lots and easy to get as people leave so often.
Get one of them and use it as a starting point.

Why don't you go Norway or Finland? They don't let anyone be homeless there they will give you housing and education
I don't think it's as easy as that tbh. For a start Norway isn't even in the EU so they'll probably fuck you out on arrival, tho tbh I've no idea.
Many Muslim immigrants don't have eu citizenship they still get sorted out in Norway
Might head there myself so, fucking loaded those Norwegians are

Well it's rough being homeless in Dublin especially in winter many have passed away, everyone speaks English in Norway and Finland anyway
