Two minor earthquakes have occurred in north Donegal in the past 24 hours.
The School of Cosmic Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies confirmed the tremors, saying the one recorded last night measured 1.5 on the Richter scale while another this morning measured 1.7.

This brings to three the number of small earthquakes in the county this month.

1.5 wouldn't even bring chimneys down? Hardly newsworthy when Haiti happened just weeks ago.

bit of a pathetic story really not even the effort of making it into news

I agree but Ireland isn't prone to natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes etc I think that's why it was added.

Of course it would be on the news! If we had a minor earthquake, it would at least be reported on our regional news, like North West Tonight when we had one a few years back. Same principle.
