}}Seán Lynch MLA ({{lang-ga|Seán Ó Loingsigh}}; born 11 January 1954) is an Irish republican Sinn Féin politician and a current MLA for the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone. He was a former Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) leader in the Maze Prison (known as Long Kesh by Irish republicans).[3]

Lynch previously served as Chairman of Sinn Féin in Fermanagh and as a senior member of the district policing partnership in the county.[4] Lynch previously stood for the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency in the 2007 Northern Ireland Assembly election but was unsuccessful.[5][6][7][8][9] Lynch was a councillor on Fermanagh District Council prior to his election to the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Background

Born in 1954 into a Roman Catholic farming family in rural County Fermanagh, he is the eldest of 12 children and was raised near Lisnaskea,[10] where he currently lives. One of his sisters, Ruth Lynch, is a Fermanagh District Council Sinn Féin councillor. Another, Mary Lynch, wrote The Long Road Home.[11][12]

Provisional IRA membership

{{BLP sources section|date=November 2016}}

In April 1986 Lynch was seriously wounded and fellow IRA member Séamus McElwaine was shot dead when the SAS opened fire on them as they prepared to ambush a passing army patrol with a huge land mine on the Lisnaskea to Roslea road. Lynch was shot by the SAS and seriously wounded, after which he was arrested. After four months in Musgrave Park Hospital Military Wing, he was transferred to Crumlin Road Jail.

In December 1986, he was sentenced to 25 years for possession of explosives and a rifle and transferred to the Maze Prison. He was released in October 1998 under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, after serving 12 years of his 25-year sentence.[13]

Séamus McElwaine Inquest

In January 1993 an inquest jury returned a verdict that McElwaine had been unlawfully killed. The jury ruled the SAS soldiers had opened fire without giving McElwaine a chance to surrender, and that he was actually shot dead five minutes after being wounded. The Director of Public Prosecutions requested a full report on the inquest from the RUC. There were no prosecutions based on the allegations.[14][15][16]

Political career following prison release

Since his release from prison Lynch has worked as a senior member for Sinn Féin and was on the officer board of what was then the Sinn Féin Six-County Cúige and subsequently as a Six-County representative on the party’s ruling Ard Chomhairle. He was director of elections for Michelle Gildernew when she won the Westminster seat of Fermanagh and South Tyrone for the party in 2005.[17] Lynch also sits on Fermanagh District Policing Partnership.

Northern Ireland Assembly Election 2007 and 2011

Lynch stood as a candidate in the 2007 Assembly Election. Lynch polled 4,704 votes, failing to win a seat. He was selected by Sinn Féin in Fermanagh and South Tyrone to stand again as a candidate in the 2011 Assembly Election on 5 May 2011. Lynch was elected on 7 May 2011. He was elected to Fermanagh District Council on 10 May 2011.[18]

In line with Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy Lynch resigned from his council seat to allow a party member to take his place on the council.{{clarify|date=May 2016}} In September 2011, Tommy Maguire was co-opted onto Fermanagh District Council[19][20]
