96fm: Prendeville to stay off air until Garda probe ends

BROADCASTER Neil Prendeville, who performed a lewd act while travelling on an Aer Lingus flight from London to Cork, will remain off air until Garda investigations into the incident are complete, his employers have said.

Kieran McGeary, the chief executive of Cork’s 96fm and C103, broke the radio station’s silence on the matter and confirmed their biggest star will not return to work until the radio station’s own investigation and the Garda probe is complete.

Mr McGeary said: “This step allows both the radio station and the gardaí to complete their investigations into the matter. And I also think it’s important that there’s time for Neil and his family to be able to deal with the situation.
