Yes - that City get promoted - attendances increase and matchnights run smoothly (he is our matchnight co ordinator)! - as for political aims he is running for Sinn Fein http://www.newstalk.ie/candidates/cllr-jonathan-obrien/ and is currently a councillor.
He has a chance of taking the fourth seat - possibly from Billy Kelleher (FF) who has amongst his election team our old nemises - Tom Coughlan!
