Question

What is the weather like in Ireland?

Answer

The weather can be tricky in Ireland! Although warm (60-75 degrees), it is certainly colder than the United States in the summertime. It would be smart to bring a light jacket and some pants, along with your usual summer gear. Another thing to note is that rain is VERY common in Ireland, so if you want to bring an extra pair of sneakers and a waterproof windbreaker, that would be very smart!

Question

Electronics

Answer

Please note that Ireland uses different outlets than America for chargers, hair tools, or anything you are plugging into a wall. You will need to buy a converter and/or an adapter. A converter is used for hair tools or anything that requires a higher voltage, and an adapter can be used for lower voltage items, like a phone charger. You can purchase these on Amazon!
