Prendeville faces Garda quiz after airline staff give statements

HIGH-PROFILE radio broadcaster Neil Prendeville could be interviewed by gardaí within days about the incident in which he exposed and masturbated himself on an Aer Lingus flight.

It is understood Aer Lingus cabin crew witnesses made statements of complaint to gardaí in relation to the incident on the flight between London and Cork on October 19.

Aer Lingus confirmed it had completed its investigation and, following that, it is understood the two female crew members went to Togher Garda Station in Cork where they made their statements. The airline said it had referred the matter to gardaí and, because it is the subject of a Garda investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment.
