In Ireland, the standard plug type is Type G, the same three rectangular pins used in the UK. The mains voltage is 230 V at 50 Hz. If you’re traveling from a country that uses a different plug shape (for example, Type A/B from the US or many Asian countries), you’ll need a travel adapter to fit the Irish sockets. If your devices are dual-voltage (for example, labeled 100-240 V), you may only need the adapter; otherwise you might also need a voltage converter for non-dual-voltage appliances. Northern Ireland follows the same Type G sockets as the Republic of Ireland, since both regions share the same electrical standard. Key points:
- Plug type: Type G (three rectangular pins in a triangular arrangement).
- Voltage/frequency: 230 V at 50 Hz.
- Adapters: Required if your devices don’t match Type G sockets.
- Converters: Only needed if devices are not dual-voltage and cannot operate at 230 V without regulation.
If you’d like, I can tailor a packing checklist or recommend specific travel adapters that cover Ireland and other countries you’ll visit.
