What to expect in Cork
Cork runs on Irish Type G sockets at 230 V / 50 Hz. The supply is the same as Britain's, including fuses in the plugs.
Power in Ireland comes mainly from wind, natural gas. Grid reliability is described as good.
Good to know: British G sockets.
What to pack for Cork
- A travel adapter with Type G on the socket side.
- A step-down converter if you are bringing 110 V appliances that are not marked 100–240 V.
- A device label check: anything marked 100–240 V needs the adapter, nothing else.
