O'Brien & O'Flynn play their way back into the game

Company director Denis O'Flynn on the site on Sarsfield Road, Cork set for redevelopment as Sarsfield Heights residential development, by O'Brien and O'Flynn.

Brothers Denis and Dan O’Flynn are best-known as housebuilders in Cork, but the cut and thrust of Gaelic games have influenced the way they go about their business.

It is little over a month since the men made Irish legal history by reclaiming their company, O’Brien & O’Flynn, from both receivership and liquidation at the same time, resurrecting a firm from the dead that had built close to 4,000 homes in Cork from 1976 to 2014.
