The radio station that employs this person and for whom he is the public face states that Prenderville's show 'sets the agenda in Cork' and that it has 271,000 'adult' listeners each day.

Perhaps 'the agenda' he sets is in the course of radical change but what impact will this have on the station's 'adult' listeners? If those with dough take their discriminating ears to another broadcaster advertising revenue will shrink and at that point Cork 96 FM will have to decide what it has precisely to offer 'adult listeners' and, exactly with what 'agenda' it chooses to be defined by. It will be interesting to observe how it intends to negotiate this moral hazard because its decision will speak volumes of how it regards it audience and if he is considered a 'celebrity' what is it that he 'celebrates'.

Sentiment is a fickle phenomena when doubts arise about authenticity. Ask the politicians!

As one of the thousands of Alcoholics in this Country, Mr P's memory loss seems quite believable to me, I would regularly lose hours, days, and weeks to my drinking, and I have never gotten them back despite being sober for 15 years, perhaps NP has done this country a favour by doing what he did, maybe at last we will realise what a devastatingly damaging drug Alcohol really is, and in his defence I was accused of kicking in a Hotel door one night, I had been there, but I could not remember kicking any door, all I remember is going to bed, I lost about fifteen minutes of memory, for me to kick in a door would have been so far out of character as to be unbelievable, but I was forced to pay for the damaged door . Let them man alone now, you have had your pound of flesh.

I wonder if anyone commenting here has has had the misfortune to have to listen to Neil Prendeville?? I know schadenfreude is meant to be a bad thing but I have to chuckle everytime I see this story - couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

Like the Kangaroo at the party uproar - I don't understand why this story is front page news.
This week the court of criminal appeal decided that the three life sentences given for the murder of a young mother and her two little daughters on christmas day 2008 could run concurrently rather than consecutively - with not even a cursory explanation given.
It's a pity the media aren't transfixed by vile travesties like this instead.

This man is alleged to have commited indecent exposure and then a sexual act in front of several witnesses. I don't understand why he wasn't taken off the plane by Gardai when it arrived at the airport. He should have been arrested and charged. I assume he has been suspended pending the outcome of whatever investigation is underway?

I am amazed that something like this could happen to such an influential man. It makes me think that the alcohol and the pain killers must definitely had a profound affect on this mans demeanor. I do not believe that this man would behave like this if he was in control of his faculties, why would he, he would know the consequences of such behavior. I believe that it is out of character for him to ever for one moment think of behaving like this. I have listened to Neil for many years and I know that over the years he has helped a great many people and while I do not in any way approve of what happened on that day, I think the people of this Country are to quick to put someone down and are to quick to circle the carcass of others.

They call it the mile high club - but this doesn't count. Anyway the plane is supposed to take off first.

What this man done was vile, there was children on the plane, did he even bother to check, if he was in view of them, he is only using excuses, If this happened to be a priest of Christian brother that done this, we would never hear the end of it on the Neil Prendeville show, he would be the first to demand garda action and a court prosecution. What good for the goose is good for the gander. As for Aer Lingus, they don’t come out of this smelling of roses, any one else and they would have them removed from the flight in London, ‘”Dont they know who I am” syndrome again. As to the comments that NOBODY here is personally affected by his actions. WRONG, They have been a number of complaints about his sex act to the Garda from passengers and staff of Aer Lingus. Let him burn, he deserves it.
