The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has partially upheld a complaint against RedFM’s Neil Prendeville Show for a segment it said could contribute to the stigmatisation of Travellers.

The broadcast that was the subject of the complaint was an interview by Neil Prendeville with Cork City councillor Ken O’Flynn in relation to the Ombudsman for Children’s Office (OCO) report on the dire living conditions for children at Spring Lane halting site.
