I'm going to Dublin for a few days next week.  Would I be right in saying that, as it is not part of mainland Europe, it shares the same kind of plug socket as the UK?

think so - ask your dad

[Peri]

Yes it does spithray.  No adaptors needed from UK.

Nice one, cheers Peri.  And b13thy, I would have asked my Dad but he'll be at the pub at this time of night.

Have a great time you must go on the dublin tour bus, me and my mates could not stop laughing. If you have time take the Dart to the coast takes about 5 mins and really nice.  I asked why thay call it the dart (it's like our metro) a Irish man said it,s because it darts from here and darts to there that did me.

Dublin Area Rapid Transit to be exact yucca lover.  Also go on the Splash Tour which goes from the road into the River Liffey.  Enjoy.

Is that right? Have they changed the plugs over since the 1970s? I used to go to my gran's in Dublin throughout the 70s and early 80s but her house (and every other house I went to) only had the two-hole sockets

Cheers everybody.  It was indeed 3 pin plugs and I had a marvellous time.  Guinness was drunk aplenty and I can confirm that the CityTour is hilarious.  For anyone else headed out that way, my best pint of Guinness was in Ron Black's on Dawson Street and the best cocktails were in Capitol, just off Georges Street (get there before 9 for cheapo drinks).  And head into Temple Bar's side streets if you fancy some proper Irish 'fiddle-de-dee' type stuff.  A quality holiday was had.
