Phyllis Furness celebrated her 108th birthday today:

The article says 2nd oldest but Kitty Jeffery was still alive in March at 108y 4m and there doesn't seem to be any public info suggesting a change in her status.

Has Martin McEvilly been confirmed by government statistics as the oldest living man in Ireland? 

Not to my knowledge. I have sent a request for information to them.
