    So I am looking for a way to plug in an extension lead outside but I have no outdoor sockets so ideally I think a cable that would be plugged in inside and run out a window, however i dont want to leave my window open all the time so is there a flat cord i could get?
    I've seen some for American plugs but nothing for irish plugs only round cables.
    Can anybody advise me where I could get something like that?

    The best way is to drill through the back of an existing socket inside, and mount an external socket outside.

    Do not do that its very very dangerous.
    Get a outdoor rated socket fitted its your only safe option.
    Please dont feck around with power cables.
