Just wondering, what is this place?

Ireland.

this can be interesting: http://earthquaketrack.com/p/ireland/recent

I myself leaved in place, where I thought never can have earthquake, but at some point was woke up but 1.5 magnitude. I think almost every place on Earth can have earthquake at some point.

You would be the first person in the history of mankind to wake up to a 1.5 magnitude earthquake :)

I believe up to 2.0 they are not felt by humans, only recorded by seismographs.

Thanks, didn't know ) Don't remember magnitude exactly, long time ago. Just was trying to say that it was low

I should clarify. Every few years there are reports of an earthquake somewhere in Ireland but it's always such a minor quake (usually less than 2.0) that nobody notices.
