List of Irish supercentenarians
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 three verified supercentenarians from Ireland.[1] The oldest person ever from Ireland is Kathleen Snavely, born February 16th, 1902, aged 113 years, 73 days, who emigrated to the United States in 1921, where she has been living ever since. As of 30 April 2015, she is the only verified living supercentenarian from Ireland.
Living Irish emigrant supercentenarians

Those listed as 'verified' have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group. Those listed as 'pending' have provided at least one document supporting the claimed age but not the three necessary for validation. Those that are 'unverified' have provided no documents to support the age claimed.
