Maurice Boland's rise and fall... Mr Marbella | Olive Press Newspaper: "Olive Press reported exclusively in our last issue, he had been forced to leave the studio and face the music – excuse the pun – and explain how his apparently ‘professional’ relationship with the young singer, had turned romantic.
While it is still unclear if the police were in some way involved, there was certainly a heated exchange, which led the normally calm station boss Martin Nathan to insist that Boland had to go.
Effectively spelling the end of his radio career, the station,and the Olive Press’s own website, was inundated with a deluge of angry comments from his loyal listeners.
In particular, they picked out the hypocricy of his actions, publicly criticising Catholic priests on the radio, while at the same time having an af-fair with a teenager.
Meanwhile there were a string of further unsubstantiated rumours flying around about the businessman, who had set up on the coast as a nightclub empresario in the 1980s.
The local Jewish community was particularly shocked by the actions of its community Vice President, who has now been deprived of his ‘guidance’ role.
One former TRE colleague, television producer Barry Mitchell, who has known Boland for 20 years, says he was not surprised that the DJ had taken up with a 16-year-old.
Mitchell said Boland loved it when, on occasion, young choirs would come to the radio studios and often made inappropriate comments about the girls.
‘Two or three of us would look at each other and raise our eyebrows, knowing full well that he was serious,’ Mitchell said, ‘And hindsight has proven that to be true.’"
