The Citizens Information site put up by the government says this: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/social-welfare/irish-social-welfare-system/personal_public_service_number
I'm moving to Ireland soon - how do I get a PPS Number?
You cannot apply for a PPS Number before your arrival in Ireland. You must be already living in Ireland in order to apply for a PPS Number. You will be asked to produce documentary evidence of identity and residence in Ireland. Different documentary evidence will be required, depending on your nationality. A complete list of documents required as evidence of your identity is here.

: To get the PPS number, you need proof of an
: address in Ireland!
:
: Here's what you have to bring to the local
: social welfare office to get the PPS number
: if you're a non-EEA/EU citizen:
:
: Current Valid Passport or Certificate of
: Registration with the Department of Justice,
: Equality and Law Reform ( Green Book or
: Plastic Card)
: and
: Evidence of either birth /work*
: /unemployment /residency /tax liability
: /education in the relevant country. (*
: includes Work Permit or letter from the
: Dept. of Justice, Equality and Law Reform
: giving permission to work)
: and
: Evidence of address in Ireland
:
: The PPS number is basically Ireland's social
: security number. You won't have an ESB
: number because that is the electric company.
: Your landlord will have an ESB account, but
: you won't.
:
: In most apartment leases, you pay the ESB
: bill. Arrangements vary. But, there's no way
: you can supply an ESB number until you are
: actually renting a place. Ditto the PPS
: number.
:
: Cash. That's what you need.
:
: Has anyone had an experience where the
: landlord demands various governmental
: paperwork, other perhaps than licence or
: passport?

: Apartment rental is not subject to any sort
: of
: government paperwork. So, you don't have to
: supply any documentation other than your
: Euros to landlords.
:
: But, you are indeed subject to residency and
: visa requirements. You deal with this
: through the government and not apartment
: owners.
:
: If you sign a 6 month lease and the state
: tosses you out after 3 months, tough, and
: you still owe the landlord and will probably
: lose your deposit.

: Are there are there any permits required for
: long-term apartment rental in Ireland by
: non-Irish. And if so, can they be acquired
: quickly or is there a lengthy application
: process. Thanks.
:
:
: If your an Irish Citizen non-resident with
: an Irish Passport can you receive the PPS
: number without an Irish address?
