ABOUT TONY O’BRIEN

Tony O’Brien is one of the most experienced media figures in Ireland. After more than 25 years in national and local journalism plus a further 20 years in Public Relations, he is equipped with the skills to handle any Media, Public Relations or Communications situation.

Tony began his media career with his local newspaper, the Wexford People, before moving to the Irish Independent where during an award-winning 20-year career, he became the Independent Group’s first Environment Correspondent and covered all the major issues while also establishing valuable contacts across national and local government, semi-State agencies, business groups and every corner of the media.

At the same time, Tony took an active interest in the world of entertainment reporting on such key events as the world-famous Live Aid concert in Wembley Stadium for the Irish Independent and U2’s seminal debut at Madison Square Gardens in New York. That involvement continues to this day where the global leader in event ticketing, Ticketmaster, is a client while Tony has worked in the past with Michael Flatley’s world-famous “Lord of the Dance.”

Tony is also the author of “Going Green” – an Irish Guide to leading a Greener Life” published by Liberties Press.
