threshold.ie
gvoernment advice for tenants. If you ring them they will probably be quite helpful (number on site)
Then there is prtb.ie - you contact these people if you are taking action against your landlord.

Rights as a tenant in private rented accommodation

* You are entitled to quiet and exclusive enjoyment of your home.
* You are entitled to certain minimum standards of accommodation.
* You are entitled to a rent book.
* You have the right to contact the landlord or their agent at any reasonable times. You are also entitled to the appropriate contact information you need to do so (telephone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, etc.).
* Your landlord is only allowed to enter your home with your permission. If the landlord needs to carry out repairs or inspect the premises, it should be by prior arrangement, except in an emergency.
* You are entitled to reimbursement for any repairs that you carry out that are the landlords’ responsibility.
* You are entitled to have friends to stay overnight or for short periods, unless specifically forbidden in your tenancy agreement. You must tell your landlord about an extra person moving in.
* You are entitled to a certain amount of notice of the termination of your tenancy.
* You are entitled to refer any disputes to the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB) without being penalised for doing so
* You have the right to a copy of any register entry held by the PRTB dealing with your tenancy

You certainly could take this case to the PRTB as it sounds well out of order. Your flatmate should not have given permission for the landlord to stay there in the first place though as this muddys the situation somewhat. She should have called the cops after he broke into the place and explained that there was an intruder and let him try and explain himself.

A case with the PTRB could take time to be resolved so at the end of the day, you're probably better off to just start looking for a new place to rent. The place you're currently in doesn't sound like it's worth all the hassles.
