It was hilarious.

"Do you work John?"

John: "I have a part-time job".

"He has his hands in his pockets all the time, he must have the warmest balls in Cork."

I nearly wet myself when I heard the other caller said that.

Thanks for posting, Mikeym, I decided to listen to the podcast after reading your post. It was absolutely priceless! They certainly don't mince their words in Cork

One thing shocked me though, that John has the time for a part-time job, I wonder is it media work?

http://www.redfm.ie/on-air/podcasts/neil-prendeville-on-redfm/ story starts at about 112:40 on the Thursday podcast. Pretty funny alright

John is the voice of reason in the wilderness.:pac::pac::pac::pac:

We slag off John O'Donovan but to be fair to the man, he puts in more hours on the radio every week than Marian Finucane

The man really needs to get a job, he clearly has way to much time on his hands.

ofcork · 08-03-2017 1:22am

I'm sure he is on the front page of today's echo in the high viz and few quotes from him inside.

liam7831 · 06-04-2017 2:00pm

John on now about his expertise on Drink Driving, as usual plenty time on his hands ...,

rob316 · 06-04-2017 2:31pm

On Niall Boylan about irish water yesterday

Howard100 · 06-04-2017 3:07pm

Classic example of lad who get's a pinch of attention - get's addicted to the ' Heard you on the radio' attention & keeps going back to get more attention.

He could be a lonely lad, radio his only companion.

He's keeping the likes of Niall Boylan in a job, though.

Has he ever rang Joe Duffy?

He's on claiming that drivers testing positive for alcohol consumption should be banned for life..quite strident about that...then admits that he was sent on his way after being caught in the past for drink driving...seems a tad hypocritical....maybe we should protest outside his house,as he likes doing, demanding that he surrender his licence .

liam7831 · 26-04-2017 1:30pm

He's on 4FM now talking out speeding fines prob don't even have a car

2smiggy · 26-04-2017 1:40pm

well 4fm seems fairly desperate for anyone to call in, so suits John...

He doesn't, he's claiming disability, pity someone doesn't pay him to disable his mouth

what is his 'disability' ? The social welfare should be having a good hard look at his case. He seems to be well able to get around to all these protests anyway

It's a fear of work that's his main disability

disability won't always stop someone from getting where they need to go. of course it will be more difficult depending on the disability involved. i wouldn't use going to protests as a measure of disability tbh.

he seems to love talking, and able to get himself around the city with ease. perhaps a call centre job would suit John, 'disability' permitting of course ?

southstar · 26-04-2017 3:58pm

I remember he 'fell' into a hole or something while out protesting about water charges ...a further waste more of states(taxpayers) time and money getting an ambulance...sure theres loads more where that came from..but at least his pitiful sense of self importance got a boost..thats all that seems to matter.

you are assuming an employer would employ him. he deserves a chance as much as the next person but we do have to be realistic in terms of the attitude of some if not many employers.

i wouldn't be a fan of the man myself and i disagree with him on a number of issues (bar water charges which i completely agree with him on) but one is entitled to protest something they disagree with and if an ambulance was required to take him to hospital then it should be provided. if it wasn't required but provided then that should be investigated.

I'm fairly certain that the ambulance wasn't needed.Its the self righteous indignation thing with this guy that annoys me.Like he has some moral superiority, that his attention seeking nonsence is so feckin worthy.. ..when it seems to me that he's happy to live off the rest of us mugs.

if you have evidence that an ambulance was provided in circumstances in which it shouldn't have been then you need to report it to the relevant authorities so they can investigate the issue.

He claims the Irish water workers knocked him to the ground then played the injured man on the ground and was taken away by ambulance only to be discharged from hospital shortly after. I think we can safely say that there was f all wrong with him other than attention seeking.

We finally have a face to put to the name - John O'Donovan from Cork was interviewed on tonight's edition of Liveline Calls Back.

flangemeistro · 11-09-2017 11:39am

He was Just on with PJ on 96fm trying to be controversial and backing up George Hook.

Also looking for a Pat on the back for not raping and murdering a drunk woman who he picked up one night and dropped home because she put her hand on his cøck.

Christ you couldn't write this stuff.

Which just goes to show what standard of a scumbag you're dealing with.

drugstore cowboy · 11-09-2017 3:09pm

JOD is just one of the many who are supporting Hooky.

flangemeistro · 13-09-2017 11:02am

He's on with PJ again saying the protestors should block the gates to Apple in Hollyhill so they get nothing done.

They must be hard up for callers to have this moron on so often.

Does this lad just ring in any talk show he can get on. He is on Newstalk now.

Mutant z · 01-11-2017 1:28pm

Seriously he really needs to find another hobby all that ranting on the radio cant be good for his blood pressure or those,who have to listen to him whinge about something or the other constantly.
