They'd be extremely rare in new builds, at least in Ireland, but some older houses would still have them. Interestingly, they were seen as kind of a high-end option for a long time; before induction stoves became a thing, the _default_ was halogen stoves (and before those resistive electric stoves), but gas stoves were kind of seen as an upgrade (they _are_, IMO, better to cook on than halogen, and also more expensive to install because gas, so I suppose it kind of tracks). Induction has mostly taken over, tho.
