    You can buy an inverter to convert Usa equipment to run on the Irish mains.
    You may also have some trouble tunning in certin stations on the tuner. I think in the US they use a slighty diffrent frequancey range

    You could find it cheaper closer to home and save yourself a whole heap of hassle.

    The unit claims to deliver 350watts of power, if true it will consume about 500 or 600 watts that would need a pretty big transformer or invertor, something like this for example. This company makes something a bit more asthetically pleasing.

    The 50/60 Hz might also be a problem. Unless you're very attached to the machine I'd ebay it.
