The devastating earthquake which has struck Myanmar and Thailand on Friday was picked up by seismometers in Ireland.

The magnitude 7.7 quake struck an area some seven kilometres northwest of Mandalay, Myanmar's second city at around 6.21am Irish time.

The earthquake has killed hundreds as well as destroying buildings, a bridge and a dam.

Not long after the initial quake, a shock wave was recorded by monitors in Tipperary and Mayo as well as in stations in Louth, Donegal, Wexford, Galway, and in West Cork.

The Irish National Seismic Network, said seismographs in Valentia and in Dublin also picked up readings over a 15-minute period from just before 7am this morning.
