eSIM for Ireland
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
Dublin and the larger towns are fine. The west coast and the midlands are noticeably patchy. The Wild Atlantic Way has long stretches with nothing. Note Ireland uses UK-style plugs despite being in the Eurozone.
Networks: Vodafone, Three, Eir
How much data you'll need
5GB does a week, though anything west of the Shannon wants offline maps.
