It sounds as though the hotel management had quite a good idea there, and it would probably also eliminate many calls to the desk from foreign visitors asking if they had any BS1363-Schuko adapters!

I know when I was traveling around Ireland in 1998 I came upon quite a lot of Continental visitors, mostly Dutch and German. With Ireland becoming a more common destination for vacations, do you think you might start seeing more of this dual BS1363/Schuko installations?
