Eimear Ní Bhraonáin - DJ Carey and The Great Betrayal
Episode 62
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
He was one of the greatest hurlers Ireland has ever produced — a sporting icon, a hero, a name that stood for excellence and pride. But behind that public image was a deception that would shock the country and devastate those who trusted him. That hurler is, of course, DJ Carey, and in this episode, I’m joined by journalist Eimear Ní Bhraonáin to discuss her book The Dodger: DJ Carey and The Great Betrayal. Together, we unpack how one of Ireland’s most celebrated sports stars became the centre of a long-running con, the psychology behind the deception, and the investigative work that finally brought the truth to light.We talk about the victims, ordinary people who believed they were helping someone they admired, and the deep sense of betrayal and disbelief that followed. This is a conversation about power, manipulation, and how charisma and status can blind even the most careful among us.LinksEimear's book 🧨My new thriller How It Falls Apart out now 🧨Dark Finds Podcast IG 👀 Patreon 🙌🏼Dark Finds IG 💀Dark Finds YouTube Channel 🎬 Dark Finds Book 📖 TakeawaysDJ Carey was a celebrated hurling player in Ireland.His story is a mix of triumph and tragedy.Eimear's background in journalism shaped her investigation.The psychology of con artists reveals complex motivations.Victims of DJ's scams often felt deep betrayal.The investigation into DJ's actions was extensive and revealing.Contradictions in DJ's life raised suspicions over time.The emotional impact on victims was profound and lasting.DJ's lack of contrition raises questions about accountability.The book serves as a cautionary tale about trust and deception.KeywordsDJ Carey, Eimear, con artist, betrayal, psychology, victims, investigation, hurling, Ireland, sports, conman, news, crime, true crime.
