Electricity & Plug Adapters in Ireland

If you’re bringing electronic devices from the United States or Canada, it’s important to understand the differences between electrical systems before you travel.

Electrical Voltage in Ireland
Ireland and the United Kingdom use a 230-240 volt electrical system, while the United States and Canada use 110-120 volts. Before plugging in any device, check the power adapter or charger. If it lists an input range of 100-240V, it can safely operate in Ireland without a voltage converter. Most modern electronics, including phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, and battery chargers, are designed to work worldwide.

If your device does not support dual voltage, you will need a power converter for Ireland (sometimes called a transformer) in addition to a plug adapter.

Type G Plug Adapters
What is the Ireland outlet type? Ireland uses the same three-pronged Type G outlet found in the United Kingdom. Travelers from North America will need a Type G plug adapter to connect their devices to Irish outlets.
