Neil Prendeville accuses mentalist Keith Barry of bullying

Broadcaster Neil Prendeville has hit out at mentalist Keith Barry, accusing him of online bullying and urging him to apologise to radio station staff.

The Cork DJ spent 15 minutes on his RedFM talk show yesterday delivering a robust defence of a last-minute decision to cancel an interview with Barry last Friday following his appearance on rival Cork station, 96FM, the previous hour.

Prendeville slated the award-winning mentalist for his behaviour at the RedFM studios, accusing Barry of intimidating staff, and for his comments on Twitter and Facebook later in the day, when Barry said he would urge his celebrity friends to boycott Prendeville’s show.
