We would strongly advise you to NOT bring curling tongs to Ireland as they generally burn out (even with a transformer), sometimes shorting electricity in the room where they are being used. This seems to be the only piece of electrical equipment that constantly does this. I believe Ireland at the end of every season has more burnt out US curling tongs than any other piece of burnt out electrical equipment! Tongs can be bought quite inexpensively in Ireland.
