Travel adapter from Ireland to Brazil
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Ireland, you will need a travel adapter for Brazil. Ireland uses Type G plugs, and Brazil uses Type C/Type N, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
