Power Plug Adaptors

We head to Ireland in April so I am starting to organize items to take along.

I know the type of adaptors needed for Ireland and the UK. The question I have is: with the adaptor for Ireland in the outlet, will the Apple charging cord fit? When we were in Italy, the hotel had recessed outlets and with the adaptor in the outlet, because of its size, the Apple charger couldn't reach the adaptor.

Has anyone had this problem in Ireland?
Thank you, Lois

I'm trying to visualise the problem. UK and Irish plug sockets are proud of the wall, I can't imagine a plug not fitting a plug adapter in a UK or Irish plug socket. Don't forget to switch the plug socket on with the little switch.

I know the problem you're describing- you will not have that problem in Ireland as the plugs are all flush with the wall (not recessed). Enjoy your trip!
