Do Americans Need Electrical Adapters in Ireland?

Yes. Ireland uses Type G outlets (three rectangular prongs, 230V), while U.S. plugs are Type A/B (two flat pins, 120V). A simple plug adapter allows U.S. devices to fit Irish sockets. Check if your electronics are dual-voltage (100–240V); if not, you’ll also need a voltage converter. Adapters are widely available in Ireland and online.
