Hurling star DJ Carey jailed for false cancer claims
Former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey has been sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
Carey, 54, who previously lived in Newtown, Maynooth, County Kildare, pleaded guilty in July to 10 charges related to defrauding people of money by feigning cancer.
A five-time All-Ireland winner and multiple All-Star, Carey is one of the most respected and admired hurlers the game has ever seen.
Sentencing was adjourned last week after the court was told he was in hospital.
A judge told the court that he could not imagine a more reprehensible fraud.
He said that Carey had taken advantage of people's good nature.
