Irish socket outlets

[oracle]

Been on holiday in Ireland for a week and every socket outlet in the flat is single unswitched. It's not an old flat and I realise it's acceptable I'm just so used switched sockets.

What part of the country are you staying in?

Enormous shopping centre in Dundrum if you're into that kind of thing.

I'm not a shopper as such but I had fun on the downhill travellator to the delight of the folk on the uphill travellator.
Because I have a dodgy knee I use a mobility scooter and I wait at the top until the downhill one is clear and freewheel down it. Fastest my little scooter has been!

Can you remember the reason for the ruling? I have pondered this a bit .

Paddette kept switching them off so Paddy got rid of the switch to annoy her, Paddy is now in the graveyard and Paddette has moved on to a full wireless system with voice control, trouble is nothing works as the AI can't decipher the accent.........

I visited the Irish Republic a few times about forty years ago. I have stayed in many places there and the variety different sockets other than our standard 13 amp ones amazed me.

At a time it was common for Schuko etc. to be used as well as all sorts of other outlets - however for quite some time now it has been standardised to I.S. 411 socket outlets in domestic installations (essentially BS 1363 outlets - although they are designated as Irish Standard 411).
