Nice to have a member from the Republic of Ireland at last!
Are the 16A dedicated outlets the Schuko type? I'd heard that these were being used in Eire now, but never saw any last time I was there in 1998.
The round-pin lighting outlets are probably the BS546 type. They were once quite common in the U.K. too, but seemed to fall out of favor some years ago.
It sounds as though your house is fairly large to have a 3-phase supply, or is ESB adopting a more Continental policy now of installing 3-ph for all but very small installations?
