    It really depends on the item. Were you thinking of anything in particular?

    Yep.

    Purchased a nexus5 there last November.

    It uses a micro-usb charger like many handsets, so no issue charging it regarding voltage.

    All of those should probably be multi voltage and should be fine I'd say.

    The only issue being that the 4G won't work in Ireland on an American Nexus 5.

    A US Nexus 5 doesn't work on European 4G/LTE networks but if you only ever intend to 3G then it won't matter. Same for US Galaxy S4.

    3G was launched in Ireland 11 years ago & is still unavailable in my area.

    We will be on the 'nexus27' by the time I need to worry about 4G!

    Check the input voltage. If it's 110V then it won't work without a transformer and probably not worth the hassle.
