DJ Carey looking trim as he's pictured for the first time since admitting to cancer scam
Scammer DJ looks ready to tee off as he strolls streets The notorious dodger — who, while falsely claiming to have cancer, was pictured with a phone cable up his nose as if to mimic a nasogastric tube — showed no signs of ill health as he strode purposefully through the streets of Athlone, Co. Westmeath, on Friday morning. Instead, the disgraced former Kilkenny GAA star — whose scams netted him in excess of €415,000 — looked trim, well and dressed to impress in a matching Under Armour golf top and hat. Sources this week said that it is believed most, if not all, of carey's ill-gotten gains were squandered on an extravagant lifestyle. 'Unfortunately, it appears he was spending it as fast as he was getting it in,' a source said. DJ Carey in Athlone 'If there had been money there when the investigators moved in and arrested him, that money would have been seized. 'So, really there are only two hopes for Carey's victims of getting any money back. 'The first is if he makes an offer of compensation at his sentencing. 'Failing that, it's open to his victims to go down the civil route. 'But, if he hasn't a bean to his name, then that would likely be an expensive and ultimately fruitless pursuit for people who have already been badly hurt by him.' Since pleading guilty, Carey has been spotted in Athlone where he regularly signs on at a garda station as part of his bail conditions while awaiting sentencing. The Sunday World has also located the address where he has been staying. The former All-Ireland winner has been living in a rural house-share in Co. Offaly for several months. Locals told the Sunday World how, since arriving in the quiet rural cul-de-sac, Carey has kept to himself, rarely leaving the house on foot. DJ Carey in his playing days Instead, one source said he leaves early in the morning and arrives back late in the evening, driving a more than 10-year-old BMW 5-Series. 'He keeps himself to himself,' one local told the Sunday World . 'He rents a room in the house and there's a few others in there with him. 'People recognised him when he arrived but he hasn't caused any bother. 'That's not saying people think very much of him after what he did. Everyone around here knows someone who has had cancer. DJ Carey in Athlone News in 90 seconds - 10th August 2025 'But he's had some fall from grace.' Three weeks ago, Carey's name was called out to a cacophony of boos in Croke Park as he was honoured by the GAA along with his former Kilkenny teammates from 2000 ahead of the All-Ireland hurling final at Croke Park. Separately, a book and a documentary are set to be published on his litany of sickening frauds — the totality of which gardaí believe far surpasses the €415,000 sum totted up in his original 19 counts of deception. Carey pleaded guilty last month to 10 counts of dishonestly inducing people to pay him money for treatment after he fraudulently claimed to have cancer. The frauds he admitted to total €250,000 and involve 13 victims. The biggest victim, financially speaking, was Denis O'Brien, the billionaire businessman who was approached numerous times by Carey for money to fund his bogus cancer treatment. The 'treatment' picture he used to scam his victims Carey was charged with deceiving Mr O'Brien out of €150,000. Detectives contacted close to 50 people whom they believed Carey approached for money. Of those, only 23 agreed to make formal statements to gardaí, ultimately leading to 19 charges of deception. The rest declined. One organisation believed to have been targeted but which declined to make a statement is the Gaelic Players Association (GPA), which is believed to have donated funds to Carey in 2022 through its benevolent fund. It's understood the GPA donated €30,000 in two tranches to Carey. In addition to Mr O'Brien, Carey has also pleaded guilty to defrauding Owen and Ann Conway, Mark and Sharon Kelly, Aidan Mulligan, Tony Griffin and Christy Browne, Thomas Butler, Jeffrey Howes, Noel Tynan, Edwin Carey and Aonghus Leydon. Speaking with the Sunday World prior to the planned 'celebration' of Carey's hurling exploits at Croke Park last month, Noel Tynan described to this newspaper the calculated manner in which Carey had groomed him for exploitation. 'If DJ Carey wasn't who he was, the superstar that he was and the whole lot, people would be saying 'throw the book at this criminal',' Mr Tynan said. 'But he's no better or worse than any other criminal. He's a criminal — full stop — and just because he won five All-Irelands and nine All Stars, it doesn't change things. 'The bottom line is he purposely set out to defraud people. 'He met me in 2017 and that's when he told me about his cancer and then he didn't hit me for six years. DJ Carey outside court 'He kept me in cold storage for six years before I got the call on a Monday morning. 'And some of the lies he told me that morning … 'He didn't have to even blink. 'The big word was the deception. 'He came across as such a humble fella but he was setting me up. It was a form of grooming. 'It's just unforgiveable and there's no excuse for him. Read more 'What angered me more than anything is when I found out about the woman who had cancer — he conned this woman and her husband and that to me is unforgiveable. That was way worse than what happened to me. 'To con that poor woman that had cancer, that's inexcusable.' Locally, sources in Westmeath said Carey has cut a solitary figure during evening golfing at Moate Golf Club as the countdown continues to his sentencing on October 29. 'He'll deserve whatever sentence the judge hands down,' one local told this newspaper. 'He had the world at the end of a hurl … now, look what's become of him.'

Son threatened ‘to kill me stone dead', mother tells domestic violence court
A mother who claimed her adult son threatened 'to kill me stone dead' and 'causes murder' in her home has secured a two-year barring order against him. Her son, against whom an interim barring order was granted days earlier, attended the emergency domestic violence court at Dolphin House, Dublin, on Friday when his mother sought a full barring order. The woman, who is in her 60s, said she permitted her son, now in his thirties, to return home 12 years ago when he was homeless. She said she helped get him off drugs but he sits at home all day, is abusive and has spat at her. She added that he 'causes murder' and 'upends my home' if he has no cigarettes or the internet goes down. READ MORE His sister is in a relationship with a girl and he has threatened to kill any girl who comes to the house, she said. He 'sits up all night talking to himself' and badly needs to 'sort himself out', but 'refuses to take any responsibility', she said. 'I can't put up with it any more,' she told Judge Mark O'Connell. When the judge asked the man if he had anything to say, he replied: 'Nothing to say; it's not in my hands.' When the judge told him it was in his hands, he shook his head. Addressing his mother, the man said: 'We just bump heads, we're too similar, we have the same personalities.' He added: 'I won't go on like this anymore, it's either this or I will kill myself.' The mother told the judge: 'I never want him back in the house. I've had 12 years of it, I'm not taking any more.' She said she has taken his name off the tenancy of her home. Judge O'Connell told the man he was granting a two-year barring order, rather than the maximum three-year barring order, to give him a chance to get assessed and 'come to terms with your demons'. A separate case involved a woman who, earlier this month, got an interim barring order against her adult son for allegedly headbutting her. On Friday, she got a three-year barring order against him. Her son did not attend the hearing. 'His father used to kill me all my life,' the distressed woman said. Her son is in his early 20s and is addicted to alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, she said. She was trying to save money for a younger son's First Holy Communion but the older son stole it, she said. 'It is breaking my heart that I have to do this, it is killing me,' she told the judge. 'I've given him every chance but I have to protect myself. I can't read but I have said to him I will get you into a place to get you off the drugs, but he doesn't care.' Judge O'Connell told the woman she was in a 'really difficult situation' and he hoped the barring order would lead to an improvement. When he wished her good luck, she replied: 'Thanks, I need it.' A young woman living in homeless emergency accommodation with her children lowered her head and sobbed when the judge told her he would grant an interim barring order against her partner. He constantly hits her and threatens her before he leaves their accommodation to meet other women, she said, adding: 'He believes he can do what he wants.' She is working and is scared to return to the accommodation, where she never has peace, she said. Telling the woman it 'takes a lot of strength and courage to do what you have done', the judge wished her well. 'I hope you and your children will be ok.'
