About Kathleen Lynn
- Kathleen Florence Lynn (28 January 1874 – 14 September 1955) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician, activist and medical doctor. Lynn was so greatly affected by the poverty and disease among the poor in the west of Ireland that, at 16, she decided to be a doctor.
- She was educated in England and Germany, before enrolling in the Royal University of Ireland, a forerunner to the UCD School of Medicine.
- Following her graduation in 1899, Lynn went to the United States, where she worked for ten years, before returning to Ireland to become the first female doctor at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital (1910–1916).
- In 1919, she founded Saint Ultan's Children's Hospital.
