When thatched properly by professionals, the major portion of such a roof (the water reed) should last about 30 years in the Irish climate. However, the roof ridge will have to be replaced roughly every 8 - 10 years. Such ridge line replacement is, luckily, a fairly rapid and reasonably inexpensive procedure.
The life of a thatch roof varies considerably depending on the roof slope (shallower or lower pitch thatched roofs are more likely to leak, absorb water, and have a short life), and on the geographic area where the roofed building is located. The typical slope of a thatched roof structure is 50 degrees.
