Probably the fullest sketch of O'Brien's character is by Maurice Healy in his memoir "The Old Munster Circuit". Since Healy was extremely proud of the overall quality of the Irish judiciary, it is interesting that he made an exception for O'Brien, whom he called "a man who worked more injustice in his daily round that the reader would believe possible". Healy's description of O'Brien must however be treated with caution: he was only twelve when the judge died, and though as a schoolboy he would sometimes attend Court when O'Brien was sitting, he admits that most of what he knew of him was second-hand.
