Stephen MaguireAn investigation has been launched after a minor earthquake reading was registered in Donegal last night. Many people heard the sound of what appeared to be an earthquake within the Ballybofey and surrounding areas just before 8pm last night. Local schoolteacher Brendan O’Donoghue, who operates the seismometer equipment at St Columba’s College in Stranorlar, confirmed a very clear signal showed on the equipment at that time. Mr O'Donoghue has recorded earthquakes from around the world which normally register on the school's seismometer equipment. He is now asking anyone who heard or felt what they thought was an earthquake to contact him on bodonoghue@stcolumbasstranorlar.ie
