Watch this Sinn Féin TD explain how he helped save Cork City FC

It was a team effort (sorry).

JONATHAN O’BRIEN STOPPED by for a High Table Interview during the week.

The Sinn Féin TD opened up about his brother’s drug addiction, and shared his thoughts on leadership within Sinn Féin.

He also spoke about his love of sport and how he was involved in turning around the fortunes of Cork City Football Club. He’s a former chairman of the club and co-founded the supporters’ trust FORAS.
