Can I get the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser delivered to Ireland?

Yes. Order the Velvetiser to your PostUK UK address and we forward it to Ireland. Note that the Velvetiser uses a UK Type G plug — the same plug used in Ireland, so no adaptor is needed. The Velvetiser operates at 230V, which is compatible with Irish electricity supply.
