    You should be able to go into your credit union and request one. It will come out of your account. I'd advise that you do bring ID, it'll speed things up. You can post it on to your landlord, or if he/she has given you their bank details, you can go to the local branch of their bank and lodge it straight into their account.

    Cool, thanks. I never knew they existed until my landlord mentioned them. He said they're free whereas you have to pay for bank drafts and postal orders.

    AFAIK the post office will only accept cash or an AIB debit card. I'm open to correction on this though.
