Complaint partially upheld over presenter’s ‘vile accusations’ against non-Irish nationals

A complaint made against Cork’s 96FM for remarks made by presenter Neil Prendeville about non-Irish nationals has been partially upheld by the Broadcasting Authority.

The complaint made by Bryan Wall concerned remarks made by Mr Prendeville on his show on May 14 in reference to non-nationals living in Ireland.

Mr Wall stated that the broadcaster’s comments were “vile accusations, laced with prejudice and with no veracity in reality whatsoever”.
