- Patrick Lynch (Attorney General)
Patrick (also Paddy) Lynch (died 9 December 1947) was an Irish politician and solicitor.
A member of the Irish Parliamentary Party, he took the Parnellite side when that party split.
In 1917, he was an unsuccessful Irish Parliamentary Party candidate in the East Clare by-election, losing to Éamon de Valera.
He joined Sinn Féin within a year. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922.
He became a King's Inns bencher in 1925. In a Seanad Éireann by-election held on 28 September 1934, he was elected for Fianna Fáil to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Arthur R. Vincent, serving until the body's abolition in 1936.
He was Attorney General of the Irish Free State from 1936 to 1937 and reappointed under the new Constitution, serving from 1937 to 1940.
His youngest brother, James, on the other hand, was state solicitor for Clare under the Cumann na nGaedheal government.
