Question

Do i need a continental plug for ireland, if so where do i buy one from?

Answer 1

If you come from outside the UK then you will need a 3 pin adapter.  Ireland uses the same plug setup as the UK

You will be able to buy one in Dublin airport or every electrical shop in the country most likely

Answer 2

Since you don't say where you are from, or what sort of plugs your appliances have, it's difficult to know.

See http://www.kropla.com for examples of all the world's plugs and sockets. You can see there if yours are the same as Ireland's.

Answer 3

no love, a standard 3 pin plug works the same in ireland as it does in britain. you would only need a euro adapter for personal shaving products as most seem to only applicable with the euro 2 pin.  if you need one any electrical shop will stock them and wont cost more than a few quid.  by the way you asked an excellent question, the amount of times iv'e been asked to swap mobile batteries because somebody from overseas forgot we use 3 pin not 2 pin.

Answer 4

No Irish plugs are the same as UK plugs, not the continental plugs... here are examples:

Answer 5

Ireland uses a 3 pin plug system for their electricity and the domestic current is 220 v. You can buy an adaptor plug in any electrical shop here.

Answer 6

yes you will need an adapter.  Try Radio Shack

Answer 7

I was in Dublin over the new year. I am from Scotland and all our appliances worked OK. If you are from outside the UK then you will just need one which converts to UK.
