    As opposed to a chocolate tsunami?

    Let's see... It has a coast, so yes, it absolutely could.

    Look up Tenerife and the possibility of the mountain collapsing into the sea and the resulting tsunami.

    Yes. And they're normally preceded by 19ft squid being caught around the coast! 100% fact ... ðŸ˜

    Here's a list of previous ones. Most are in the Mediterranean, but there were plenty up north, too : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tsunamis_in_Europe

    Not to mention the effect it will have on people seeking year-round sun at affordable prices. :( Feck the Tsunami -the holidays will be ruined. Dalkey could do with a wash anyway.

    In Tenerife there's a mock up of the aftermath of a Mount Teide eruption on the northern side, which is quite likely.
    No more Cork City, and a lot of the South of Ireland.
