Earthquake
A series of earthquake zones criss-cross Dublin - and one running the length of Ireland's busiest shopping area, O'Connell Street. The most active area in Ireland is near Carinsore, Co Wexford. Eileen Doyle, a geologist with the National Geological Survey, said: "There is a fault line near Hollyhead, Wales, which is active every 10 years or less.

Tsunami
Damaging tsunamis could affect Ireland from several geologically feasible scenarios. For example, recent modelling of a Lisbon earthquake scenario, conducted jointly with the UK, predicts waves up to 4m high along the south Irish coast. The proposed warning system could provide alerts up to four hours before a tsunami might reach our coastline.
