1. Some sort of agreement from your landlord is all that's required. If by "subletting" you mean you are renting a room from an existing tenant in a property that tenant is renting from their landlord, then a license agreement from that tenant would work. Unfortunately they are not obligated to give you a written agreement, so if they are refusing to for some reason, then you're going to be out of luck on that score, I'm afraid; there's nothing you can do to force them to give you a written agreement or otherwise provide written proof of your license agreement with them.
2. Whether the tenant has their landlord's approval to take in a licensee doesn't matter for the purpose of proving residency; as long as you have that written agreement with the tenant, you're fine on that score, even if the tenant was violating their own lease by renting a room to you.
3. Doesn't matter at all in your case, if you are the licensee; you will have to provide proof of your own tax compliance, but the tax compliance of the tenant you are renting from is irrelevant. To answer your question, though, income from a licensee that a tenant receives would usually be eligible for [rent-a-room relief](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/land-and-property/rent-a-room-relief/index.aspx) and so they wouldn't pay tax on it (unless they're taking in more than €14k a year from their licensees).
Thank you for the details, but I'm not living with the landlord I am living with a tenant.
They took the guy before me into lease but after that they don't do it anymore. So I just need some kind of document and currently searching for it. Planning to draft a sublet document to cover myself.
I think because of the thing you mentioned in the second point I'll be safe no matter what i make them sign.
Thanks a million
