    The Xmas tree is up in his house in Cork so I suppose he's back there.

    No doubt lots of extra christmas balls on the tree?:D

    Re: the Boardwalk argument - He still owns 50% of the company and is a director of the company. (Not that I'm sure why this is important?)

    Its not really and your correct, some previous contributors wondered was he still involved. It had been reported by his "Loyal" partner and i believe fellow traveler on the faithful trip that Prendervile was taking a break from the business. Not entirely sure what this press release was intended to achieve apart from a cheap publicity stunt.

    Evidence please. And dates are important.

    Neill was the PR media promotions for the Boardwalk, the concierge if you like an amenable host. He hosted parties for magazines and TV shows charity functions and the like. The business and functioning theatres were not his.

    Thought I saw him outside the boardwalk yesterday, if it was him...he was smiling.

    Did he have his hands in his pockets then?

    Now i am confused, is he or is he not a director of this business? I was led to believe not just true this business's website, promotional material and indeed his business partner that he is a director and equal partner in this business, i am led to wonder why the press release after the story broke that he was taking a back seat? I guess a check on solo check which lists directors would solve the mystery

    A simple CRO search will show the most recently filed B1 for Prengate Limited on 18 October 2010 (publicly available information) shows Neil Prendiville as a director and 50% shareholder of the company. No change in shareholdings or directorships have been filed since.

    That being said, he may be taking less of a "hands-on" role at the moment.

    Where are you getting your information from?

    Yes, just confirmed the above!

    As for a less "hands on role", we know the reasons for same!

    Probably due to the unforgetable nature of the act juxtaposed with the pontificating persona of the man.

    I was a little suprised at your post re ownership of this restaurant and had to check it myself, after all it had been well published he was a major shareholder in this enterprise. This all said, its a ghastly place, i'm not from cork but had a less than pleasant experience there last year, infact i never heard of prendervile until i eat there and what an arrogant buffoon. His absence might infact help their business, probably the reason they were quite vocal about him taking a back seat!

    Maybe so people don't feel they can be manipulated at will by a carefully planned -and no doubt expensive- media strategy based on people having short memories and even shorter attention spans?

    Plan A -
    Step 1 Appeal to public sympathy

    Step 2 - use kids, family, friends, etc and any other collateral buffers available to absorb/deflect the blowback.

    step 3 - Take responsibility for nothing and be careful to only apologize for the resulting mess - not any specific event.
    Note this is an all or nothing option

    Plan B
    Step 1 Conclude the public has a short attention span but not quite goldfish.

    Step 2 - Plan A didn't work, go to ground completely until it all goes quiet.

    Step 3 - as for Step 2 above but more subtle and sustained as they need to absorb 100% of blowback now.

    step 4 -Test the waters in the outer reaches of former career

    Step 5 gently revert to as near 100% of former career as possible

    There are plenty of successful examples about but Prendeville made his name hounding people who transgressed his standards so some people would like to see him roast a bit more - at least to the same degree he used to apply. He may be some way short of that yet.

    He also grievously offended many people for little or no reason - victims of redundancy etc. It may be visceral, but "live by the sword....

    To sum up my sentiments on the issue in a few words as possible:

    Mountains out of molehills.

    I've changed my mind, I think his punishment has been extra severe and seems to me to have been a crusade against him.

    I hope he is back, the average Irish Joe has only a two week memory capacity, the media seemingly keeps stirring it up every two weeks.

    Enough I say: Bring back Prenders.

    Will you feel the same if he he receives a conviction? whilst innocent until proven otherwise it is clear his behavior was reprehensible, i am not entirely sure this person should be permitted lead or manage debate on Local or national radio for that matter!

    I welcome a decision. I don't know the details, it's not really a case of innocent [or not] is it, it's a case of why?

    But I don't want to start this thread all over again, it's all been said on both sides.

    To be honest, a conviction for whipping his lad out is, in the scheme of things, a relatively small offence. The far harsher sentence is the fact that he will never, ever, ever (ever ever) hear the end of this. I say let the prick back on. He might have even learnt humility.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    There's a world of difference between 'whipping out your lad' and chimping the bell off yourself on an aircraft full of passengers.

    If convicted of the alleged offense, the lad should never be seen or heard of again on any radio station.

    Most of these dudes don't do humility.:rolleyes:

    Be another cover up here I would say...why the "Garda Investigation" taking so long....it's not a fcukin murder case.

    People will be "got at" persuaded not to press charges "for the sake of the family "

    Waiting until the heat dies down ...shove the whole thing under the carpet and pretend it never happened.

    Now if it were a poor knack in a track suit caught urinating in public it would be up before the beak in jig time and a few weeks in the chokey....thank you very much.

    Have you not cottoned on yet that theres one law for the rich and influential and another for the ordinary J Soaps.

    (Hint...just look at the fall out from the banking crisis...any one of those **** in the chokey....nooooooooooo)

    do you mean Why:

    ...he did it in the first place?
    ........he wasn't arrested on landing?
    ............. he didn't make any statement until he realized he couldn't muzzle the press?
    ...............Aer Lingus apparently didn't file a complaint for about two weeks and until after the cabin crew did so independently?

    Maybe it's simpler to just ask why there appears to be a two tier approach to applying the law in Ireland.

    He wasn't wearin a clerical collar by any chance ?

    Them boys has a lot o practice at cover ups and press muzzeling.

    A lot of these so called celebrities get high on their own egos and perceived power and the monkeys in the top brass at RTE/Aer Lingus/Guards hear no evil see no evil.

    And you wonder how the round collar men were so successful in covering up their activities for all those years..........?

    Hmmmmmm ?

    You said it.
    I've always had a major dislike for the creep, but on the scale of things all we can expect is a slap on the wrist and him returning to the airways (or attempting to anyway).

    Anywho how many of us guys have been unable to succumb to the urge of public masterbation. I once tossed off at an all ireland final........




    In my seat in the Hogan stand.................








    Second row from the front :eek:
