The Central Statistics Office estimates that the number of people over the age of 65 will increase from 620,000  people in 2016, to between 1,530,000 and 1,600,000 in 2051. Even in the ten years from 2016 to 2026, this represents a 22% increase in the population aged 65+. 

And $30 Trillion dollars is expected to transfer to the next generation between now and 2050.
