Ryan was born in Dublin and raised in Dundrum where he continues to live. He was educated at Gonzaga College and University College Dublin where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He was manager of the UCD Marketing Development Programme from 1985-86 and following three years of emigration and unemployment in 1989 he founded Cycling Safaris, a company which organises cycling holidays in Ireland and Europe. He married the author and journalist Victoria White in 1998 and they have four children.
Political career
He first became involved in politics in 1998 when he was co-opted to Dublin City Council. He topped the poll at the 1999 local elections in the Rathmines electoral area. From 1995 to 2002 he served on the advisory committee of the Dublin Transport Office. At the 2002 general election he was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a TD for Dublin South. He served as Green Party spokesperson for Transport, Enterprise, Trade and Employment and Communications, Marine and Natural Resources during the 29th Dáil.
Eamon Ryan (1946/1947 – 7 August 1979) was an Irish civil servant and murder victim. He and his wife Bernadette had two children, Peter and Dorothy.
Ryan had been studying for a Master's degree at Trinity College, Dublin. On 7 August 1979, he was in the Allied Irish Bank in Tramore, County Waterford, when it was raided by the IRA. Eamonn Nolan and Aaron O'Connell were later found guilty of his murder and given life sentences. The getaway driver, Bill Hayes, served nine years in prison. Ryan's death became the subject of media attention in 2013 when his family criticized the Sinn Féin for giving an award to Hayes. In reply, "Hayes said he wanted to offer his deep sympathy and apologies to Eamon Ryan's family for what they had suffered."

Dublin city car ban 'transformative for the better' - Eamon Ryan | Newstalk
A ban on cars and commercial vehicles going through Dublin city centre will see a much quicker bus service, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said.
The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan will be presented to city councillors this afternoon, with a ban set to be in place by August.
It's aiming to stop motorists driving 'through' instead of 'to' the capital.
Minister Eamon Ryan told Newstalk Breakfast the plan will cover the core inner-city.
"It runs roughly from Stephen's Green to Mountjoy Square, and from Smithfield to Custom House," he said.

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary sits down with Ciara Kelly from Newstalk Breakfast.
Ireland is losing out on tourism, business and jobs due to Government inaction on the Dublin Airport passenger cap, according to Ryanair.
The airline’s CEO launched a blistering attack on Transport Minister Eamon Ryan and Tourism Minister Catherine Martin at a press conference in Dublin this morning.
Michael O'Leary said the Government must introduce emergency legislation to lift the passenger cap at the airport – insisting that it is a piece of national infrastructure that should not face the same planning liabilities as other facilities.
He said Ryanair is not increasing the number of routes it flies in and out of Dublin this year as a result of the cap and is sending new aircraft to other European cities instead.
Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has insisted that the passenger cap is a matter for planning authorities and it would not be appropriate for him to get involved.
At the press conference today, Mr O’Leary defended his decision to sit beside a photoshopped picture of Eamon Ryan wearing a dunce cap.
“I would say that is a fair comment and a statement of fact,” he said.
“If he delivers and lifts the cap at Dublin Airport, I will change those around and we will change the hats and go ‘Genius’ on it.
“We need action out of Eamon Ryan. I don’t know how else you would describe it; he has been Transport Minister for four years and we have a cap on passengers at our main airport and we can’t grow traffic for the next four years while it goes through planning.”
Dublin Airport last year came close to reaching its annual cap of 32 million passengers and has now lodged a planning application to improve facilities and increase the cap.
The cap was imposed by An Bord Pleanála when it approved the airport's second terminal.
Airport operator DAA says the expansion will create up to 20,00 new jobs; however, it is unclear how long the planning permission process will take.
Ryanair is urging the Government to step in a speed up the process, while Minister Ryan is insisting the planning process must be followed.
Mr O'Leary insisted he doesn’t have an anti-green agenda and claimed Ryanair was the greenest, cleanest airline in Europe.
“I am all in favour of the green environment,” he said.
“What we are trying to do here is expose the extent to which, after four years in office, we have a Green transport minister and Green tourism minister who are doing nothing – they are presiding over a cap.”
DAA has said it aims to increase its passenger capacity by 25% in the next six years in order to keep pace with population growth.

A ban on cars and commercial vehicles going through Dublin city centre will see a much quicker bus service, Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said.
The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan will be presented to city councillors this afternoon, with a ban set to be in place by August.
It's aiming to stop motorists driving 'through' instead of 'to' the capital.
Minister Eamon Ryan told Newstalk Breakfast the plan will cover the core inner-city.
"It runs roughly from Stephen's Green to Mountjoy Square, and from Smithfield to Custom House," he said.
