Since we moved to Ireland, plus five years we have welcomed many people to our self catering apartment in Kinsale. ease (or not) about how they adapt to the differences they found a source of entertainment, recalling as it does our own memories of discomfort when we first put our lives anew. The following list of five things to consider is offered in the hope that it will make your trip to Ireland and stay in our apartment in Kinsale easier.
Water does not necessarily have to be hot at the request of - be sure to ask how it works wherever you stay, although the hotels will be much like one would expect anywhere in the developed world.

Electricity follows the model used by the United Kingdom, which makes sense, of course, because the Republic of Ireland is part of the United Kingdom to the 1922nd
Be aware of the on / off switch on the wall plate. if it is connected to what is not working it is probably because the switch is turned off at the wall. It's a good idea when you leave the place to turn this off again - especially those on the heating unit
.Be sure to check the voltage before connecting to an item in the U.S. . While electronics such as computers and phones, iPods and MP3 players will probably be fine and you will see a label saying 110-240V.

Garda (police), are useful helpers . Assuming that no criminal intent, you will find that the Gardai (the plural of Garda in the Irish police) are useful for travelers. There is a Garda station immediately behind our self catering accommodation in Kinsale, and when we were invited to ask them to help us when someone has parked so close to our car in the parking lot that they could not get out. It took him some time as he pulled back and forth, but finally we were on the road once again. If you feel lost at any time during your stay in this country do not hesitate to seek the direction of the Garda station.
If the road curves, follow the line down the middle. where in other countries, You May find that the road is still straight, in Ireland it is rarely the case. Therefore, if you are instructed to stay on (eg) R600, you have to stay with a white line down the middle of the road, no matter how it turns out, or to other roads coming from him in May what they seem at times to a straighter path.
Do not expect roadsigns to be accurate. The roads are marked in Ireland and developed over the years. Because some of the distance in miles and kilometers in the second.

Because of travel in Ireland is generally modeled on historical memory, but road markings, You May find it difficult to follow instructions given by others. Be sure to ask the distance in time and place between markers and expect to be a little longer than you thought and you should be fine.
