List of Irish supercentenarians
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into List of British supercentenarians. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2018. |
This list includes Irish supercentenarians (people from Ireland who have attained the age of at least 110 years) whose lifespans have been verified by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). There have been, including emigrants, 10 verified supercentenarians from Ireland.[1] The oldest person ever to die in Ireland was Katherine Plunket at 111 years, 327 days. The oldest ever person born in Ireland was Kathleen Snavely, who died aged 113 years, 140 days in the USA. As of 3 February 2019, there are no reported living supercentenarians from Ireland.
