Not surprising. The DPP needs to take a lot of steps before it gets to court

Not unless he can get the strike off first.

If things had gone slightly differently for DJ with the Kilkenny U20’s he could have been a live contender for the senior job. They lost to Cork in the 2019 U20 semi iirc. It would have been carnage if he’d obtained the top job and then all this drama broke.
The split court season is an absolute joke.

Can’t imagine Cody Is fond of lads playing golf or lads going on golfing trips.
Dj Carey seemed an odd choice for him as selector. Didn’t he fall out with Dj too?
No worse carnage than what Derry had with Rory Gallagher this year
DJ falling out with DJ would be a fair achievement

Finance firm bids to recover Catriona Carey’s €370,000 debt from late father’s estate
In June 2006, former Ireland hockey international Catriona Carey stepped on to the property ladder by buying a house in Rochfort Manor estate in Co Laois.
Five years later, a €351,000 loan obtained from ACC Bank was secured over the property.
Carey’s late father, John, also provided security for the mortgage by supporting a charge over 30 acres of land he owned in Demesne, Co Kilkenny.
Now Pepper Finance, which took over the charge from ACC in September 2019, is seeking to realise the security he provided in a bid to recover the significant arrears his daughter has racked up.
The Irish Independent understands Carey has failed to make any repayments on the mortgage loan account for several years, and the level of arrears is now over €370,000.
Her father, a retired farmer, died in October 2021 and left an estate worth nearly €1m. Both Catriona Carey and her brother Jack Carey were named as executors.
Mr Carey, who was described in the will as a “hurley maker”, inherited everything – and is now the registered owner of the family home and the lands in Demesne, according to documents uploaded to the Land Registry.
The value of the lands in Demesne is significantly in excess of the debt owed to Pepper.

High Court proceedings have now been issued by the finance company against Catriona Carey, while Jack Carey has also been joined in the proceedings.
However, it is understood this is because he was named as one of the executors of his father’s will. Jack Carey has no debt with Pepper. The case relates to demands issued before John Carey’s death.
When contacted, Pepper Finance said it did not wish to comment.
Catriona Carey’s financial situation has deteriorated over the last two years.
She racked up significant debts on two other properties she owned in Kilkenny.
And while failing to make her own mortgage repayments, she became involved in an alleged mortgage scam connected to her UK company Careysfort Asset Estates.
She promised to help homeowners in financial distress keep their properties, and asked for deposits of between €5,000 and €60,000 to try to secure new mortgages at cheaper rates.
However, these deals never materialised, and €200,000 she received from the desperate property owners was instead spent on designer clothing, a new BMW and lavish holidays.
The matter is currently under investigation by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB).
Carey’s family home in Weir View Hill, Kilkenny, was repossessed in November last year
Catriona Carey is currently living in the Rochfort Manor house.
Her family home in Weir View Hill, Kilkenny, was repossessed in November last year. She bought the five-bed house at Weir View Hill in 2014, but was forced to give it up after Start Mortgages sought to recover the €359,000 mortgage arrears she incurred.
It was put back on the market for €550,000 and has since been sold.
Another house she owned in Kilkenny, which she bought in 2010, was auctioned off for €365,000 last year. Receivers were appointed to the property in 2014.
There are also two judgments registered against the house in Rochfort Manor.
The first was obtained at the High Court on October 29, 2013 and was registered against the property two years later.
Revenue Commissioners secured another judgment against her in 2016 for €43,000.
Last week, Carey was put off the road for four years after withdrawing her driving ban appeal
Aside from financial issues, the businesswoman was also up in court for driving offences.
Last week, she was put off the road for four years after withdrawing her driving ban appeal at Kilkenny Courthouse. She had initially indicated she was contesting the ban in full. She came to the attention of gardaí and received penalty points for speeding in a 50kmh zone and speeding in a 120kmh zone.
She was also caught twice holding a mobile phone while driving. She received a six-month disqualification, from November 8, 2021 until May 8 2022.
However, she was stopped by gardaí on two occasions for motoring offences while the disqualification was active.
Carey was arrested earlier this year by fraud detectives who questioned her about alleged deception in connection with her Careysfort business. She was released without charge.
Her former business partner, Patrick Maher, was also arrested and released without charge, as was a third man suspected of being involved in the alleged scam.
Carey also has a previous conviction for fraud. In February 2020, she was before the courts for altering a cheque she received from a client who hired her as his accountant.
Carey changed a cheque for €6,948 to Revenue’s collector general, making it payable instead to herself. She cashed it at a bank in Kilkenny.
She received an eight-month suspended sentence for that offence.
Carey was contacted for comment.

What is the likely outcome?
Does the debt or security die with the father, or reside with the land?
It’s becomes a debt of the late fathers estate.

Presumably the late father’s executors feel they don’t have to pay, or it wouldn’t have got this far??
Is there any fact to the old line of “the death dies with you?”
I don’t believe so. Unless you die insolvent.
