HURLING legend DJ Carey has been left reeling after a TV expose accused his sister of conning distraught homeowners out of thousands of euro in a mortgage scam.

Sports star turned businesswoman Catriona Carey, who played hockey for Ireland and camogie for her native Kilkenny, is reported to have preyed on under-pressure families in financial difficulty and at risk of losing their homes as part of the alleged fraud.

RTE Investigates lifted the lid on the ‘scam’ on Monday night, spotlighting the stories of some of those affected who spoke out about the human and financial impact of the “dirty rotten” scheme.

The Irish Sun has learned there could be as many as 60 potential victims across Ireland.

DJ refused to comment on the shocking allegations against his sister when contacted by our reporter yesterday.

But a source close to the Carey clan spoke of the fallout from the explosive TV programme from the national broadcaster.

The source said: “It’s tough, it’s very raw.
