Eimear’s book DJ Carey’s couldn’t be more timely

DJ CAREY, the disgraced former Kilkenny hurler and former manager of the IT Carlow Fitzgibbon Cup hurling team, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison on Monday afternoon. His rags to riches to rags story is examined in detail by Carlow author Eimear Ní Bhraonáin, in her book The Dodger: DJ Carey and the Great Betrayal, published

by Merrion Press last Thursday.

“We wanted to respect due process. The book was due to be published as soon as he was sentenced,” Eimear said, regarding the apt timing of the book’s release.

Ms Ní Bhraonáin spent nearly three years and conducted over 100 interviews to get to the bottom of Carey’s financial scams and fake cancer claims that dated back as far as 2003.

Several scenes and recollections in the book take place on Carlow soil, at the Lord Bagenal Hotel in Leighlinbridge and at Carlow Golf Club.
