Cork radio personality apologises for alleged plane incident

A well-known Cork radio personality issued a heartfelt apology on-air this morning after newspaper reports that he is to be referred to gardaí for having committed an alleged sex act on an Aer Lingus flight.

The Irish Examiner reported this morning that 96FM presenter Neil Prendeville was seen to expose himself and masturbate as he sat in his seat on a flight from London Heathrow to Cork on October 9 last.

Mr Prendeville was seated between a male and female passenger at the time, the newspaper said.

He was reportedly stopped in his actions by Aer Lingus flight staff, who have since compiled a report on the incident.

The airline’s security head has since indicated a formal complaint will be made to gardaí, according to The Irish Examiner.

This morning Mr Prendeville addressed the allegations, confirming that he had been on the flight, having been invited to London to speak at a conference.

The popular presenter however insisted he had no recall of the alleged incident, having taken painkillers for a neck injury prior to boarding the 10.15pm flight as well as having imbibed alcohol while in London.

“If the reports in the Examiner are true,” he said on 96FM, "and I can’t deny that they are not, because I just don’t recall, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my deepest apologies to the passengers on the plane, to the flight personnel, to my family… to my employers and my work colleagues and to all of the people of Cork.

“I apologise unreservedly to all concerned.”

Describing the incident as “a terrible personal experience”, Mr Prendeville advised others not to mix painkillers and alcohol.

He indicated he would be taking some “breathing space” in light of the incident.

Mr Prendeville’s daily talk show is the most listened-to programme on Irish local radio with 100,000 listeners each day.

:unsure:

Christ that’s some high jinx for the centre seat on a plane. If he was seated against the window it would be outrageous still but at least you could consider the possibility that discretion had entered his head. That’s the sort of thing that gets you jail time when it happens on flights.

Great way to pull in the listeners

A stroke of genius alright

He was reportedly stopped in his actions by Aer Lingus flight staff, who have since compiled a report on the incident.

:lol:

The staff should have called him a JERK and threw him OFF straight away after landing.

What a fucking tosser.

This is an outrageous sort of story. Imagine if this was Limericks equivalent - Joe Nash. I’d be outraged.

He also has a TV show on Channel South…

Does anyone know did he just lob out the todge and start hammering away or was he subtle about it and cover his lap with a jacket/blanket etc

I’m not sure on the veracity of this story.
Any porn I’ve seen the lady beside him would have gotten really aroused and gone down on him while the other fella in the row of seats hammered into her from behind.

Agreed. That’s what usually happens in those situations going on what i’ve seen in videos. This story is obviously bogus…

Some knob jockey

Put a magazine over it

He’d be fired only he has a majority share in 96.

This is surreal, its a tiger woods moment for the middle aged women of Cork, they simply love him. Its really really bizarre.

I was only thinking recently he may not be half the wanker i thought he was. Turns out he is, but the respect still stands!!! :lol:

Excellent thread title runt, i can see this being a very busy thread.

Rumours in Cork that this lad has left 96fm and has joined exposé. Unconfirmed by TV3 as of yet.

Classic thread title, why even follow up it up with a story.

There is more this than meets the eye, one of the aer lingus birds must have felt herself up or something!

High jinx indeed, when in doubt pull him out!

Bet it’s the last time an aer lingues air hostess will tell someone they have to empty their bag.

He will never be able to show his head in public again!!

Yours etc,
GSH.
