Lynn Ruane ({{IPAc-en|r|u|ˈ|æ|n}}; born 20 October 1984) is an Independent politician who has served as a Senator for the University of Dublin constituency in Seanad Éireann since April 2016. She was the President of the Trinity College Dublin Students' Union from 2015 to 2016.

Early life

Ruane grew up in Tallaght; she became a single mother and left school aged 15.[1] After returning to education via An Cosán,[2] she studied addiction and helped to develop local services for drug users.[1]

University Politics

In 2012, she completed a foundation programme to allow access to a degree programme at Trinity College, Dublin, and read politics and philosophy.[1] Having spent a year representing student parents on the Trinity College Dublin Students' Union executive, she was elected as the union's president on 12 February 2015,[3] which gained national attention. [4] [5] As president, she was active in the Fossil Free TCD campaign [6] and the campaign to repeal the Eighth Amendment. [7]

National Politics

In December 2015, Ruane announced her intention to contest the 2016 Seanad Election in the University of Dublin constituency as an independent candidate.[8] She was elected to represent Trinity graduates in the Oireachtas on the 15th and final count, unseating incumbent Sean Barrett.[9][10]

In the 25th Seanad, Ruane sits with the Civil Engagement group; an alliance of independent senators seeking to bring civil society expertise and experience into the Oireachtas.

In May 2017, Ruane introduced the [https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/2017/68 Controlled Drugs and Harm Reduction Bill] to the Seanad which proposed removing criminal sanctions for minor drug possession.[11] [12] In February 2019, Ruane introduced the [https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/bills/bill/2018/141/ Criminal Justice (Rehabilitative Periods) Bill] to the Seanad which proposed expanding access to spent convictions,[13] where it passed unanimously.[14]

She was a member and vice-chair of the special Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment, which was established to examine the repeal of Ireland's constitutional ban on abortion and recommend the legal grounds to access an abortion in Ireland.[15]

Miriam Lord of the Irish Times named Ruane her 2016 Senator of the Year.[16]

Personal life

In September 2018, Ruane published a memoir entitled ‘People Like Me’.[17] The memoir reached number one on the Irish paperback non-fiction charts and won the 2018 An Post Irish Book Award for best non-fiction. [18] [19]

Ruane's daughter Jordanne Jones is a DFCC award-winning and IFTA nominated actress.[20][21][22]
