Jean McCullagh of Larne, who was thought to be the oldest living person in Northern Ireland, sadly passed away on 16 September 2022 aged 107 years, 291 days.
The oldest living person in Northern Ireland is now believed to be Agnes Thompson of Belfast (b. 2 September 1915).

Bernard O'Neill - of Ballygawley, Tyrone, Northern Ireland - died in August 1896 at the claimed age of 107.
This Ancestry profile was created for him, but I don't know how reliable the info is (supposedly, his mother lived to be c.111):

Or maybe even older....
am generally very sceptical of these 19th century Irish claims; there were 514 centenarians reported in the 1901 census, five times the number in 1990.

What's a huge shame is that Irish 19th century census records were overwhelmingly destroyed, so checking such claims becomes extraordinarily difficult. I have no doubt that most of them were fake, but I do wonder about the few that could have potentially been real. Not necessarily saying that this man's case was one of them, of course.
