Description
This is a black and white photo of a young Jack Lynch at an award presentation with an unidentified colleague. A St Finbarr statuette, inside a wooden box, is being exchanged and, on the table behind Lynch, we can make out a stack of boxed festival awards next to a crystal decanter.
The Fianna Fáil politician Jack Lynch (1917-1999) was born in Shandon, Cork. He went to school in the North Mon and was by all accounts a great sportsman originally playing with Glen Rovers in Blackpool, Cork. Lynch loved sport and would credit it with teaching him how to be part of a team and how to cope with victory and defeat. He worked as parliamentary secretary for Eamon de Valera and succeeded Sean Lemass in 1966. Lynch would go on to serve as Taoiseach from 1966 to 1973 and 1977 to 1979. (Jack Lynch, 'My Life and Times', Magill Magazine, 29.11.1979.)
