    Thanks, is that https://www.rtb.ie ?

    Its a 'gov' organisation which deals with tenant landlord disputes.
    As your friends problem is with the other tenant it will be of no help.
    The only option is to get the other tenant to pay their rent into the friends bank ac. And pay this to the agency. If he only pays his % he can still be evicted for non-payment as 100% of the rent is due on the agreed pay date.
    It's the same with the utilities he needs to move the accounts into his name and pay the full bill if he wants the services. Extracting the money for the others share is a 'domestic' matter.

    He could try getting out of the lease but the other tenant would have to agree to do this. Or to assign the lease to someone who will move in and replace him as tenant.

    Quick update. A) Spoke to guards who said it was a civil matter and wont do anything.

    The rent has/is being paid is seems for now- but not sure for how long this can happen. The problem has been that utilities are not being paid and this makes the house barely liveable.
    You should write a letter to the Superintendent of the local station. Keep a copy and get proof of delivery.
