Can you use a US 120V 60Hz multi-plug power strip in a 230V 50Hz country?

I'm traveling from the US to Ireland. I only have one US->Ireland plug adapter and multiple devices to charge.US is 120V 60Hz, Ireland is 230V 50Hz. All the devices (phone, laptop, ipad, … etc) can be charged in any voltage, but I'm considering taking a US multi-plug power strip and plugging it into the Irish power socket with my one plug adapter, and plugging my chargeable devices into that.Is this ok? My strip says on the back: "max load 15A 120V 60Hz" and makes no mention of any other voltages. Will these power strips basically work fine in other voltages without risk?
