Ring replaces O’Brien as Cork City chair

Cork City last night announced Jonathan O’Brien has stepped down from his position as club chairman to be replaced by Michael Ring.

O’Brien, a Sinn Féin TD for Cork North Central, sighted commitments in his working life as the key factor in his decision to step aside.

“I am proud to have been involved with FORAS since the very beginning and I will remain involved both on match night and as a source of support for the board,” he told the club website.
