Celia Lynch (née Quinn; 6 May 1908 – 16 June 1989) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician, assistant Government Whip, and Teachta Dála (TD) for 23 years.[1] She also served as a Dublin City Councillor for many years.
Her birthplace was Duras House, Kinvara, County Galway. Her husband James B. Lynch was a TD and Senator from 1932 until his death in 1954. A schoolteacher before marriage, Lynch was elected to Dáil Éireann on her first attempt, as a Fianna Fáil candidate for the Dublin South-Central constituency at the 1954 general election, taking her seat in the 15th Dáil.[2] She was re-elected at the next 1957 general election. At the 1961 general election, she was elected for Dublin North-Central, where she was returned again at three further general elections[2] before retiring from politics at the 1977 general election.
She lived at 156 Botanic Road, Glasnevin.[citation needed]
