CSO figures show being a rich woman in Galway is key to long life
Fancy living longer? Good news if you are female or live in Galway — or both. New figures compiled by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) reveal that being female and well-off is the best recipe for a long life.
Women live three-and-a-half years longer than men, regardless of their social status or where they live. Life expectancy for women in Ireland now stands at 85.5 years, compared to 82 years for men.
