But like just run it straight and taken the contracts cleaning primary schools and churches rather than dicking around getting involved in things he knew nothing about.

It’s in their nature
He could bring in a few bob with a Netflix documentary too. If the GAA catfish was tapped up then DJ definitely would.

A taxable gift
Could it be considered a charitable donation?
Are all these go fund me things subject to income tax?
You’d wonder about the motives behind that brief retirement from inter-county in the late 90’s now.
Some stook probably paid him a few quid to come back

I recall hearing a figure of 50 thousand shortly afterwards, possibly in a conversation leaving Parnell Park on May 31st, 1998, but as I was only an innocent nipper I didn’t believe it in a smiliar way to how “normal people” didn’t believe Sean Kelly or Stephen Roche or Mitchell D. Brown would take illegal performance enhancing drugs because Irish people wouldn’t do that.

Good on him taking a few bob from Newstalk - nearly two and a half grand a month, for 18 months, and he only appeared on there a handful of times.
Let Ger Gilroy explain that one away. Or seethe away silently.

I’ve a programme at home from the 97 league semi final between Limerick and Kilkenny, a rare (at the time) Limerick win over Kilkenny, that was signed by DJ Carey.
Yes, I’m sure it was Ger Gilroy and not Denis O’Brien who was signing off on that

Prime Time was interesting. So DJ owed €9+ million and after repossessing his properties, he then owed about €6 million. If AIB wrote this off then how did Newman go bankrupt?

He regularly went missing in All Ireland finals anyway.

Where the hell did all the money go, though? The publicly declared figure is 400 grand, of which he paid back 40k.
Say he took in another quarter of a mill from people who haven’t come forward yet. That’s 650 grand. He hardly burnt through that amount on golfing holidays in America.
A falling out with Kevin Fennelly over Martin Carey not being first choice keeper was the rumour at the time anyway.

He did indeed, it used piss him off something shocking when it was said of him.
Maybe his failure in big games drove him to fraud.
Imposter syndrome, or something like that.
