Kathleen Lynch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kathleen Lynch (June 7, 1953) is an Irish Labour Party politician. She is a Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork North Central and is currently the Labour Party Spokesperson for Consumer Affairs.
Kathleen Lynch was born in Cork. She first became involved in politics in 1985 when she was elected to Cork Corporation for the Workers Party. When that party split in 1992, Lynch and other members of the Cork organisation were initially undecided as to their stance, but she subsequently decided to follow former party president Proinsias De Rossa and the bulk of the party's TDs into the new organisation which later took the name Democratic Left. Lynch was first elected to Dáil Éireann as Democratic Left TD for Cork North Central in a by-election in 1994. She lost her Dáil seat in 1997 but was re-elected again in 2002, this time for the Labour Party following the merger of DL with that party in 1999.
