Lynn Ruane is a recently elected independent senator, serving in Seanad Éireann and is a former president of Trinity College Dublin’s Students’ Union. An early school leaver & single mother of two from Tallaght, she gained access to Trinity College in 2011 through the Trinity Access Programme as a mature student. Prior to her return to education, she worked for fifteen years as an addiction programme developer and community worker in west Dublin. As a senator, Lynn plans to be a passionate and vocal defender of education, a voice for the underrepresented in Irish politics and a challenger of inequality in all its forms.
“If we fight for something, we fight for the thing we love. When we fight against something, we fight against the thing we hate” Simon Sinek
What does freedom mean for us as individuals, as nations and as world citizens living in extreme times? What are we fighting for in a #post-truth culture?
Freedom invites a host of artists, musicians, performers, activists and thinkers to decode the burning questions at the heart of cultural revolution and evolution. These “freedom fighters” set out to navigate many perspectives from the personal to the political and beyond.
