Useful, just in case

First-time essentials

Simple checks for plugs, phone charging, medicines and emergencies.

Ireland · Type G

First-time electricity basics

Ireland uses Type G: three rectangular-pin blades, 230 V and 50 Hz. A plug adaptor changes pin shape only; it does not convert voltage or frequency.

Match the item to the problem

Adapter, charger or cable?

An adapter changes plug shape. A charger is the power brick. A USB-C or Lightning cable is the lead: choose the connector that matches your phone. Prefer charger input marked 100–240 V~ (50/60 Hz); do not use a 110/120 V-only device on Irish mains without suitable conversion.

Unit 13–15 Jervis Shopping Centre, Dublin, D01 E7W2

Currys officially lists travel adapters, phone chargers and USB cables/adaptors; use the three category links below. A category or collection page does not guarantee branch shelf stock, so check online collection/stock or phone before making a special trip.
