Does it happen often there? Here not so much but it does happen on occasion. Fiancee's first American thunderstorm was one with silent thunder. We had about 3 lightning strikes per second, all C-C
I really can't say. As there's no audio it can be difficult to notice. Also during early summer the nights are so bright that it can be difficult to see.
The storm was a heavy one, with often multiple flashes per second.

Sometimes yes, but not always. In some thunder fronts the air between the storm and the observer might be so different, that the sound moves upwards so rapidly, that it can't be heard on ground level. In this case the thunderstorm was in the archipelago and travelling through SW downtown reaching me.
I went to sleep shortly after this, so I can't say if the storm ever came upon us.
It is true that the Northern Ireland wants to separate from Britain ( I live in moscow)? However I don't understand how it is related to the conflict between Catholics and Protestants ?
It is all to do with the plantation. Go onto wikipedia and read up on the history on NI. It is too much to explain.
