As excuses go, the devil is in the detail

Claire O’Sullivan examines the London timeline and finds Neil Prendeville’s excuse simply doesn’t add up.

CORK shock-jock Neil Prendeville was part of a small group of Cork-based media who boarded a flight from Cork Airport at 4pm on Tuesday October 19.

They were flying as guests of the Cork Convention Bureau (CCB) and were due at 6.30pm to meet up with approximately 40 influential British travel agents who organise overseas conferences. The event, supported by Tourism Ireland, was taking place at celebrity chef Richard Corrigan’s acclaimed Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill restaurant in Central London.
