Joe Lynch has announced that he will not return to the long-running rural soap 'Glenroe' in the autumn.
The veteran and versatile actor Joe Lynch has appeared on stage, radio, film, and television, both in Ireland and abroad. He also studied music and is a trained singer.
His role as Dinny Byrne in the RTÉ rural drama series 'Bracken’ and its spin off ‘Glenroe’ brought him into the living rooms of Irish homes weekly, as audiences enjoyed storylines featuring
The sometimes cantankerous and very often scheming Dinny Byrne.
Earlier this month Mary McEvoy left Glenore when her character Biddy was written out of the series at her own request. Joe Lynch announced through his agent today that he will not return for the autumn season.
