Boylan stood for the Killarney local electoral area of Kerry County Council at the 2009 local elections but was again unsuccessful. She attributed her defeats to being an outsider: “As a Dub in Kerry the odds were stacked against me”, she told the Irish Times in 2014. Boylan returned to Dublin in 2011 to work in Ballymun, for the Global Action Plan, an environmental initiative funded by Ballymun Regeneration.
In 2010, she was appointed as chair of the advisory board of Safefood. In September 2013, Boylan was selected as the Sinn Féin candidate for the Dublin constituency at the European Parliament election in May 2014. She then left her job, and as a candidate was paid a wage by Sinn Féin while she went canvassing three or four times a day.
Lynn Boylan began her campaign “practically anonymous”, according to Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams. By April, Boylan was still described by the Irish Independent newspaper as a “political unknown”. Instead of raising her media profile, Boylan’s campaign concentrated on canvassing, mostly door-to-door rather than the busier shopping centers.
Despite the lack of media exposure, by late May the polls showed Boylan in the lead. After voting on 23 May, Boylan won 23.6% of the first preference votes and was elected on the third count. As the election count pointed towards Boylan’s win, the Fianna Fáil candidate Mary Fitzpatrick asked: “Who could have said somebody would come from nowhere, no track record in Dublin, and still take the lead and steal the first seat and probably have a surplus?”.
Lynn Boylan was a campaigner for the release of Ibrahim Halawa, an Irish citizen from Firhouse in South Dublin who was imprisoned in Egypt between 2013 and 2017 and was adopted by Amnesty International as a prisoner of conscience. In March 2015, Boylan described Halawa as an “Irish-speaking, GAA-playing Dublin lad”, and asked if the Irish Government would do more if his name was “Paddy Murphy”.
In December 2015, Boylan sponsored a motion in the European Parliament calling for Halawa’s release. She introduced his two sisters to the Parliament before the vote, which passed by over 560 votes to 11. She lost her seat at the 2019 European Parliament election.
Lynn Boylan was elected to the Seanad in April 2020 as a Senator for the Agricultural Panel. She was the Sinn Féin candidate at the 2021 Dublin Bay South by-election. She was not elected, getting 4,245 first-preference votes (15.8%).
