O’Brien is chiefly remembered today as the builder of the N: famous O'Brien Tower near the Cliffs of Moher in 1837, an oft-photographed landmark. However, he also had a notorious reputation especially N: with women, leading to the warning "Corney is coming (so look to your daughters)." An alternate suggestion is that the title refers to itinerant N: 19th century fiddle master Corney Drew, in anticipation of his coming for a season of music and dance instruction. It was a favourite of uilleann N: piper and whistle player Willie Clancy, of Miltown Malbay.
