It comes just three weeks after a 2.4 magnitude earthquake was recorded off the coast of Donegal on April 7.
Locals in Kilcar, Ardara and Ballyshannon all reported feeling the earth move and the quake was recorded at six seismic stations in Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Wexford, Dublin and Louth.
The INSN are asking those who felt shock waves to fill in an online questionnaire here to help gather data on the event.
