Lynda has over 10 years’ experience in association conferencing and business tourism, and has been with Fáilte Ireland for the past 2 years.

"I worked in Virginia for a time, but being Dublin born and bred, I couldn’t stay away for long. I have settled here now, and spend time outside of work watching Dublin play both football and hurling (Gaelic Games, a national sport), and keeping fit through cycling or walking the fabulous Howth Head — I always feel that you are on the edge of the world there!

Despite being a home bird, I do love to travel and experience other countries and cultures. I am so fortunate that this job allows for the opportunity to travel both throughout the country and the world. Outside of Ireland, my favourite cities are Washington DC, Pisa and Cape Town. While I find myself visiting them time and again, I do have a number of new places on my bucket list!

As an eternal optimist, I believe you need a blend of hard work and chance, so I always think it will work out (in the words of Peter Pan) if you have faith, trust and pixie dust!"
