A longtime resident of Citywest, she is committed to making a positive impact in the community, where she and her husband Eoin are raising their two teenagers.

Lynda has spent years advocating for improved schools, better amenities, increased Garda presence, and more outdoor spaces. Her commitment to community development goes beyond advocacy. Lynda is an active board member at St. Mary’s National School, a participant in the Tallaght/Citywest and Rathcoole/Saggart/Clondalkin Community Safety Forums, a member of the Tallaght Transport Committee, and a representative with the Tallaght Drugs & Alcohol Task Force.

These experiences have given her the insight to understand the real challenges our community faces and the skills needed to make effective changes. Lynda has been actively advocating for Dublin Mid-West and recently was successful in securing two new community Gardaí for the Citywest & Fortunestown areas; strengthening local safety. She is determined to continue fighting for a balanced approach to development, ensuring that the area’s growth includes the right mix of residential homes, business opportunities, parks, and infrastructure.
