N2  - Caledonian and Hercynian faults in Iar Connacht have been examined for evidence of Quaternary movements. Dip–slip displacements are detected, both through preservation of scarps and, in areas of greater denudation, through morphological offsets. The principle sites of this phenomenon are the Maum, Clifden and Gabhla-Shannaveara faults. Tectonic scarps are distinguished from those due to differential erosion and glacial scour. Earthquake risk in Iar Connacht, though slight, is not non-existent
