    You will likely have to run it through a bank account. Very few places are accepting cheques these days.

    Post office generally chases cheques from the dept of social protection

    If you mean a tax credit, I think not, it only applies to people who were renting before 2010 or so.

    http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/credits/rent-credit.html
    Tax years 2011 to 2017 inclusive

    Credit for rent paid will be withdrawn on a phased basis over the next 7 years. To see the maximum amount of the credit that will be due, see Leaflet IT 1.

    The credit for the years 2011 onwards applies to individuals who were renting a propety on 7 December 2010. No credit is due to individuals who began renting after 7 December 2010.
