    The Government have issued a statement denying that any earthquake took place in Ireland last night and that we are on the road to a full recovery.
    I think you'll find it was the fault of the previous FF government. ;)

    Introduce bear tax. The earthquakes keep them away.

    How does an earthquake happen in the Irish Sea? I didn't think there were any fault lines even remotely near us.

    I didn't feel it :(

    I'm not paying a bloody earthquake tax. I'll get nothing for it. Typical FG expecting me to pay for a service that's only available to the jackeens.

    I live near a quarry every time they blast a bit of it the house rumbles, probably makes more of an impact than a 4.6 earthquake.

    Hundreds of people buried in Glasnevin apparently.

    Rescue teams have so far recovered 52 bodies but expect that number to increase as digging continues through the day.

    They'll be unrecognisable I fear.

    Oh fracking hell!

    Earth tremors - the western half of Britain has quite a few.

    Any connection to fracking?

    Reports in the news here in New Plymouth are blaming fracking in New Zealand, we've fracked all the way through the core seemingly :eek::eek::eek::rolleyes:

    Odd that we are slap bang in the middle of a major plate.

    Odd also that people are willing to believe that fracking can cause a rumble 10km down into the earth. If you are willing to believe that human activity can have that effect, you would probably be happy to believe that human motoring activity can raise the temperature of the earth.

    So far I've slept through fire alarms, people banging at my window, my alarm, loud parties, and now you're telling me I slept through an earthquake?

    Bugger.
