My niece has a non-paying internship at the US Embassy in Dublin and needs a low cost place to stay. She is a lovely and interesting young woman and very good with children and pets (even infants and horses). She'll be working during the day. If you know of a family with which she could stay, we would appreciate an introduction. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you!

You could contact university housing. Perhaps she could share a room with one or more students off campus.

Probably not exactly what she's looking for, but she can at least browse a lot of apartments/houses "to share" at http://www.myhome.ie/

Not sure how soon she's leaving and how long she's planning on staying, but Servas has a hospitality exchange program. There is an application process that you have to follow with an interview, and I don't know what the exact requirements are for how long Servas members are allowed to stay with a host family. There are host families in Ireland, but they don't publish a list of locations on their website so you'd have to ask if any are actually located in Dublin so she could get to work at the Embassy.
