DJ Carey’s due to be sentenced later today.
The Kilkenny man was taken into custody following his hearing on Friday for swindling almost €400,000 from multiple people by pretending he needed money to treat a rare type of cancer.
He’s pleaded guilty to ten charges of deception on various dates between 2014 and 2022.
Judge Martin Nolan told the court a custodial sentence is inevitable – he’s set to expand on that further at lunchtime today.
Meanwhile, the former famed county hurler and Gowran native is the focus of a Prime Time special tomorrow (Tuesday) night.
A terrific long read to have with your Saturday morning coffee from our @MurphyPaule, with a must-watch full Prime Time film to come this Tuesday night. #rtept https://t.co/H7XzLHYUXO
