    You absolute beauty, was right in the market for this, and a great price, cheapest I've seen these before has been €20.00

    €8.95 for delivery is saucy enough init

    I agree look very good for the price, much better than the ones done on my house when rewired recently :(

    Sorry, not an electrician here obviously but what would you use to split up an internal cable going to an internal double socket before drilling a hole through the wall and laying new cable through wall to this external socket on the other side?

    Best ask in the electrical forum, you'll be told you will need to employ a registered electrician as its the law, but if you are anyway handy at DIY then you can DIY !

    Indeed, but what? Screwfix wouldn't be the cheapest around would they? They don't have B&M shops in Ireland I guess

    Don't forget to pick up some cable entry sleeves if you're buying this socket.

    Nice spot, was looking for something like this. However none seem deep enough to take a small transformer plug and are only suitable for standard plugs.
