Can I Use My Electric Toothbrush in Ireland?

Q: What plug type does Ireland use?

Ireland uses Type G sockets at 230V / 50Hz.

Your electric toothbrush needs a plug adapter in Ireland if its actual input rating supports the local voltage and frequency.

Why

Use a plug adapter only after confirming that your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency. Match your real plug and preserve any required grounding. An adapter does not change voltage. Electric toothbrush charging bases are almost always dual-voltage (100–240V). A plug adapter is enough; the inductive base draws very little power.

Ireland runs 230⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Ireland uses the British Type G plug at 230V/50Hz. US single-voltage devices need a voltage converter; everyone needs a Type G adapter.
