    Have you got a letter from the tax office or Social welfare? Another bank/credit card?

    Motor/home insurance renewal letter, Greenstar/Panda bill?

    I thought that the banks had lightened up on the requirement for ESB and/or Eircom bills given that a lot of the utilities now press you to accept electronic bills. However I think your problem may not be with the Sky bill but the fact that you only have one item with your name on it, they normally ask for two.

    Driving licence?

    You should be going with PTSB or EBS regardless of your proof of address difficulties.

    I was living with other people when I first opened my account and didn't have any bills in my name either. I got the owner of the house to write a letter to confirm that I live in his house at that address and that was accepted. That was a few years ago though.
