Sounds like I was being asked to put the cart before the horse with both PPS and ESB. Secure the apartment with whatever financial terms, you're saying, and then deal with those. Thanks.

:
: Current Valid Passport or Certificate of

: The PPS number is basically Ireland's social

: number because that is the electric company.
: Your landlord will have an ESB account, but

: In most apartment leases, you pay the ESB

: number.

: Cash. That's what you need.
