He was a Senator from 1989 to 2011, elected by the Agricultural Panel.[1] O'Brien is a native of Latton, near Ballybay, in County Monaghan. He was a member of Monaghan County Council from 1979 until 2003, serving as Council chairman in 1986 to 1987.[2] On 25 April 2010, the Irish Mail on Sunday ran a lead story saying that O'Brien had borrowed €10 million from Irish Nationwide Building Society, under the headline "FF Senator got €10m loans from Fingleton". The article claimed that the loans were fast-tracked by Michael Fingleton "without demonstrable security or documentation".[3] On 14 June 2010, the Irish Independent reported that in 2006, O'Brien spent millions of euro on agricultural land outside the village of Inniskeen, County Monaghan in the hope that it would be rezoned for housing. However, the Inniskeen Action Committee opposed the development and, despite several Fianna Fáil councillors voting for the rezoning, the motion was defeated by Fine Gael and Sinn Féin councillors. The land is now worth a fraction of the purchase price.[4] O'Brien did not contest the 2011 Seanad election. In November 2013, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and a further year suspended, after pleading guilty with two other men to a charge of demanding €100,000 with menaces from Michael Heelan at Carrickmacross on 27 April 2012.[5][6][7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://oireachtas.ie/members-hist/default.asp?housetype=1&HouseNum=21&MemberID=1970&ConstID=205|title=Mr. Francis O'Brien|work=Oireachtas Members Database|accessdate=25 January 2010}} {{Members of the 23rd Seanad}}{{Members of the 22nd Seanad}}{{Members of the 21st Seanad}}{{Members of the 20th Seanad}}{{Members of the 19th Seanad}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Obrien, Francis}}{{FiannaFáil-politician-stub}}{{Ireland-senator-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://electionsireland.org/candidate.cfm?ID=2634|title=Francis O'Brien|work=ElectionsIreland.org|accessdate=25 January 2010}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.questia.com/library/1G1-224804022/ff-senator-got-euro-10m-loans-from-fingleton-as|title=FF Senator got €10m loans from Fingleton|work=The Mail on Sunday|date=25 April 2010}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/ff-senator-left-millions-out-of-pocket-as-land-plans-rejected-2219643.html|title=FF senator left millions out of pocket as land plans rejected|accessdate=14 June 2010|work=Irish Independent|first=Michael|last=Brennan|date=14 June 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0424/385328-ex-fianna-fail-senator-held-in-garda-probe/|title=Ex-FF senator Francis O'Brien charged with demanding €100,000 with menaces|work=RTÉ News|date=24 April 2013}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/1011/479820-francie-obrien/ |title=Former senator Francie O'Brien pleads guilty to charge of extortion|work=RTÉ News|date=11 October 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/former-senator-francie-obrien-70-jailed-for-two-years-29748308.html|title=Former senator Francie O’Brien (70) jailed for two years|date=12 November 2013|work=Irish Independent|accessdate=12 November 2013}} 10 : 1943 births|Living people|Fianna Fáil senators|Irish farmers|Local councillors in County Monaghan|Members of the 19th Seanad|Members of the 20th Seanad|Members of the 21st Seanad|Members of the 22nd Seanad|Members of the 23rd Seanad |
