Fast checks for Ireland
| Traveler check | What the data says | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 100-240V chargers | Compare the actual INPUT range and frequency with 230V / 50Hz. | Confirm manufacturer instructions, the exact plug and required grounding. |
| 120V-only appliances | 230V is not compatible with a 120V-only device. | Check manufacturer permission and converter load type; use a local-voltage model for high-power heat tools. |
| Plug shape | Sockets are Type G in the country data. | Adapter choice is about pin shape only; it never changes voltage. |

Ireland outlet FAQ
Can I charge my phone in Ireland without a converter?
A voltage converter is unnecessary only if your charger’s actual INPUT range covers the local supply and frequency, and its manufacturer permits this use. Confirm the exact outlet, plug fit and any required grounding. A typical charger profile does not verify your model.
Is 230V dangerous for US devices?
Do not connect a mismatched single-voltage appliance directly. For high-power heating appliances use a local-voltage model, not a travel converter workaround. Confirm the actual input label, frequency and grounding even for a 100-240V charger.
What plug type does Ireland use?
Ireland uses Type G sockets at 230V / 50Hz.
