Wish I could find some more information on this, but I'm afraid I don't have any more details.
I just saw a passing reference that the Schuko plug and receptacle are now being used. I assume that means that they're wiring them on 16 or 20A radial branches. (I sure hope people aren't just putting them on existing 30A rings!)
I don't know when these were introduced into Irish standards, or indeed if they are not officially introduced but just being used by common practice. I was in Ireland in 1998, and don't recall seeing any in use then.
