    Maybe talk to the Dublin Homeless Person's Unit, they'd be best placed to advise you on how to claim without a fixed address (assuming you are in Smithfield in Dublin)

    I've stayed in hostels before, although a long, long time ago back in the 90's and early 2000's I was able to claim dole by using the hostel as my address. Did so literally numerous times when I had no ties and was a bit of a nomad.
