Climate:-
Ireland has a temperate climate, resulting in relatively cool summers. The mean daily temperature in September is 15 - 20°C. It is generally quite dry in September but you may experience some rain, so come prepared!

Electricity Supply
Ireland works off a flat three-pin plug system. Electrical current is 220-240 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC). You are advised to purchase the appropriate adapters in advance. These are available at most airports.

Credit Cards:-
Credit cards are widely used in Ireland and all leading credit cards are accepted.

Clothing:-
Ireland is generally informal about clothes. In the more expensive hotels and restaurants most people dress formally for dinner and a jacket and tie might be required. Warm sweaters, comfortable walking shoes and rainwear are advisable throughout the year.

Shopping:-
Shops are generally open Monday to Saturday from 09.00am to 6.00pm with late night shopping until 8.00 or 9.00pm at many of the larger stores. On Sunday, many supermarkets and some of the bigger shops will open from midday until 6.00pm.

Driving:-
A valid licence is required for driving in Ireland. Driving is on the left and seat belts must be worn at all times. In the Republic of Ireland the speed limits are 30mph(50kmph) in built up urban areas, 60mph(100kph) on the open road and 70mph(110kph) on the motorway. The majority of signposts denoting distance are now in kilometres per hour but speed limits are still denoted in miles per hour. All signposts and place names are displayed bilingually in both Irish and English.
