Well that was a busy morning. Certainly wasn’t expecting to be talking about an #Earthquake in #Donegal on @bbcgmu and @BBCRadioFoyle this morning! pic.twitter.com/w7gcGU6z1y

A second earthquake of magnitude 2.4 was also recorded in Donegal on April 7, around the Killybegs area.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Brendan O’Donoghue explained that Donegal is situated along the boundary of an ancient collision between two ancient continents.
He said the “cracks would still be in the Earth’s crust” and these events are the releases of small amounts of energy….
Or ‘they’ are dynamiting ‘things’ underground.
We may never know.

Fracking hell!
Donegal is a political tectonic plate between Derry & Fermanagh on one side, and Sligo on the other. Its tremors go boom-diddy-boom from time to time.
