You don't have to pay with Daft. There's a free account, just make sure you renew the ad every day or so to keep it near the top of the list.

Daft is definitely the best.

-Accom. offices in both UCC & CIT will allow you put up cards in their offices and also add your listing to their sites for free.
-Notice Boards in Tesco's & super valu etc.
-If all else fails, the Echo would prob be your best bet, i'm guessing its about €20 squid for a small ad.

i had thought about the accom office alright as i used to live next to it...

not being snooty about students but i was looking for a more professional type of tenant, someone who can pay the rent and not wreck the place.... having been a student in rented accom for many years i know how little respect was had for the places we lived in (which were mostly dumps)
also i need someone to stay at least 18 months til i am working again and most students will sod off for summer or find somewhere cheap to live....

You should give www.add.ie a try. I use it quite a bit and a few buddies of mine have had success using it. It's free as well. Good luck getting suitable tenants.

cheers i'll check it out.... know im being awfully precious about it but i;ve lived with SO many BLANK hawks it's made me wary....

I know yeah i rented as well myself for a while when i was a student and we didnt really give a crap about the place. It'd be different if you had professionals in though. I've heard of a few landlords who throw in the carrot of sending a cleaner in once a week. Tenant thinks "nice one, less work for me" but landlord can easily be kept updated on how the place is being maintained. Worth the few euro you'd pay the cleaner i reckon.
