People across the globe are living longer than ever before and this is particularly true on the island of Ireland.
Over the last 100 years, the average life expectancy from birth in Ireland and Northern Ireland has risen by several decades according to experts.
As healthcare improves and incredible strides are made in the treatment and prevention of illnesses, male life expectancy has risen by 22.2 years - a 38.7% jump - in the 90 years up to 2016, while female life expectancy gained an extra 25.5 years.
