Yes. When I was about 14, during the 1980s, there was an earthquake. Its epicentre was in Wales but we felt it in the South-East of Ireland. Actually, my parents felt it. I slept right through it.

Yes I remember one during the eighties. (Dublin)It just felt as if things shook a little, i.e. chairs and beds moved on the floor. No damage was done. there was another one since then (last year) in the middle of the Irish Sea (between England and Ireland) but no effects were felt. They are very rare and usually of minor level.

im sure ireland has had its fair share of earthquakes
The whole of Ireland is practically free of earthquakes. This is clearly a real phenomenon and not a product of reporting - as Ware, as early as the 17th century, remarks in describing an earthquake (probably Welsh) felt in Dublin in 1534

Yes , but very small tremors with little damage. The last one people described it like a HGV passing near their home.
