Dublin woman Annie Lynch, the first person in Ireland to receive the Covid-19 vaccine in Ireland, will be laid to rest later this week after she passed away on Saturday from an illness.
Annie Lynch, who was originally from the Liberties, had lived in Drimnagh for many years and in 2020 she made history by becoming the first person in Ireland to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. She sadly passed away in Drimnagh on Saturday with her family members by her side.
Annie is survived by her three children John, Alan, and Paula and grandchildren Kian, Jason, Christine, Aisha, Joanne and Amy, great-grandchildren Emily and Ava, brother Martin, brother-in-law Peter, and sisters-in-law Veronica and Jenny. Her late husband John sadly passed away in September 2020.
