Frank Lynch
Frank was born in Cork, but moved to
Limerick at an early age as his father was
transferred there by his company. Educated
at St. Munchin’s College and the School
of Building in Limerick, he worked as a
draughtsman with John Thompson and
Partners, Patrick J. Sheahan and Partners
and Limerick Harbour Commissioners. Under
the Harbours Act of 1996, Limerick Harbour
Commissioners became Shannon Estuary
Ports Company, which subsequently was
merged with Foynes Port Company to form
a single authority for the Shannon Estuary,
Shannon Foynes Port Company. Frank’s
career path changed during this time, and
he retired as Company Secretary in 2011. His
interests include sport, mainly cricket and
rugby. He and his wife, Assumpta, have five
children.
