Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
There was a massive firearms haul discovered in Greenoak, industrial state in Racool in Dublin, and he was linked to that. He was jailed for that, but then, since he has been jailed, he's also pleaded guilty to money laundering offenses and for facilitating a gang to try and kill Noel Ducat-Ciarán, who was a friend of Gerry Hutch's in 2016.
So he's basically serving three really serious gangland offenses, and he's one of the guys on the D1 landing.

Hurling legend DJ Carey has landed himself in the ditch after he was moved to a prison wing with a group of Kinnehan cartel gangsters.
Chapter 2: What led to DJ Carey's imprisonment and his cancer scam?
Carey has been placed in Mountjoy prison's D1 landing where he is serving his five year sentence for a cancer scam fraud. Today I'm talking to Crime World's Eimear Rabbit about how the Kilkenny sports star is now rubbing shoulders with Kinnehan chief Mr Nobody and gangland hitman Keith Wilson. I'm Niall Donald and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.
So the latest installment in your campaign against our sporting heroes, we're back to talk about DJ Kerry.
Yeah, this is like two worlds collide because we're talking about D.J. Carey and Kinahan. So it's my special subject and your special subject.
Well, I suppose D.J. Carey has been moved within the prison system. And it's an interesting story, actually, I suppose, because like prison is a melting pot. And D.J. Carey obviously is one of our most legendary sports people, but he is now I suppose sharing a prison wing with some of the most infamous people in, you know, in the state right now.
Yeah, absolutely. And like, you don't know. It's funny because obviously we were, you know, the resources quoted in the article we're going to talk about, about how, you know, they wouldn't probably fancy somebody who pretended to have cancer that some of their relatives died of.
And I was thinking, God, I don't think he'd fancy to be in there with some people who have like committed some of the most heinous gangland crimes in the country.
So let's remind us what DJ Kerry is in there for, even if everybody does probably remember some of the details anyway.
Yeah, so basically he was jailed for, he got five and a half years, probably on syrup that full time, but essentially fraud charges. He scammed 22 victims, there's believed to be more, but basically 22 victims out of around 400,000 euro by pretending he had cancer and saying that he needed treatment.
And obviously he used his absolute, like, I suppose, adoration that he had from being one of the greatest hurlers of all time. A lot of them were people in the sporting industry and people like Denis O'Brien, who's obviously, you know, a billionaire. So people with kind of very well known in different parts of different circles of Ireland. These were targeted by him.

Chapter 3: Who are the notorious gangsters DJ Carey is now sharing a prison wing with?
And so we actually obviously done as part of the special Bomber podcast, we had a big right through on Declan Brady because he was obviously one of the guys, one of Thomas Bomber Cabinets guys in Ireland. And I suppose, you know, as one of the top guards had recently said to us in an interview, he, crime gangs need guys like this because he basically went under the
for years and years and he was a logistics manager for the Kinnhans and he was called Mr. Nobody for that reason. He was ultimately caught because there was a massive firearms haul discovered in Green Oak Industrial State in Raccoon in Dublin. And he was linked to that. He was jailed for that.
But then since he has been jailed, he's also pleaded guilty to money laundering offences and for facilitating a gang to try and kill Noel Duque Kirwan, who was a friend of Gerry Hutch's in 2016. So he's basically serving three really serious gangland offences. And he's one of the guys on the D1 landing that DJ Kerry will be sharing his face with.
Now, Now he's also in with two of the Wilsons and the Wilsons, you know, Luke and Keith Wilson are two members of a very notorious crime family. Keith is the brother of Eric Lucky Wilson and they were both basically hit men for hire operating out of Dublin.
Yeah. Luke Wilson was, he was, he was shot in the eye before, wasn't he? So he's, he's got a visible injury there, but he was basically, he's in jail. He's serving, I think, 11 years for firearms offenses, but he was one of the guys who tried to carry out a hit on a Hutch associate. This was in 2017. So this was at the height of the Hutch-Kinahan feud and he was caught in relation to that.
And then obviously Keith Wilson, he murdered Daniel Gaynor. You probably know more.
Yeah, well, Daniel Gaynor was a sort of a dissident linked hitman himself. And Keith Wilson was the younger brother of Eric Lucky Wilson. And the two brothers worked together as really as hitmen for hire. I mean, Eric Lucky Wilson would be arguably the most prolific hitman in history. you know, of the 21st century in Ireland. I mean, he was connected to up to 12 murders.
He ultimately fled to Spain. But Daniel Gaynor was shot dead as part of this kind of feud that the Wilsons got locked into with the real IRA and Alan Ryan. Daniel Gaynor had been suspected of carrying out a hit for the other side. And Keith Wilson shot him dead. I mean, both the Wilsons have been from Ballyfermish. They have another cousin, Alan Wilson. Luke Wilson would have been their nephew.
And Alan Wilson obviously would also be convicted in connection with the same offence as Luke. He was part of that hitman. But all four of them were, you know, really, really feared guys. I mean, very unusual sort of characters. I mean, you know, they, you know, those sort of pure hit men for hire are not common.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of DJ Carey being on D1 landing?
He wouldn't have had that sort of public profile that some of them would have had, but he would have been a more trusted kind of lieutenant, somebody who sort of ran the logistics of the business in the north inner city. And remember, there was these kind of Kinnan cells, I suppose, operating
And sort of in around the Hardwick Street area, he would have been very close to them, including people like Ross Browning and Gary Finnegan. He would have been a long term associate of them. Yeah. Now, what else do we know about DJ Carey's time in prison? I mean, he has certainly initially he would have been on this kind of.
Regression unit?
Yeah, where he would have... Yeah, and he would have spent maybe a lot of time in sort of... He wouldn't have had mixed... No, no.
His job initially was... He is a cleaner, as you said, and his job was initially cleaning out. There's cells, there's holding cells where people come in and then they're processed after a day or two and then they're moved on. So he had his job where he was to... go in and clean out these cells each morning before the prisoners are brought in.
And he was actually being held in one of those cells himself. So that obviously would have been part of that. And now he's been moved on to the Kennehan wing. As far as we know, he's still working as a cleaner. But as has kind of been said in Robin Shitter's article, it's not for any particular reason. They just happened to move him in there. They moved him around.

Chapter 5: How did DJ Carey exploit his fame for fraudulent activities?
Obviously, the D1 landing has hit the headlines in the past for fights among Kennehan prisoners and things like that. But there doesn't seem to be any particular reason why they moved him there. But it remains to be seen if he'll stay there. Obviously, he's a non-violent prisoner.
So generally, they would move you after a couple of years to a different prison, maybe an open prison if he behaves so.
Yeah, I mean, he probably, if you're looking at an open prison, possibly Shelton Abbey would be close. I mean, he probably would have to do a couple of years in Mountjoy. I mean, it's not like, you know, there's Kinnahan prisoners there, but they will be kept separate from other feuding prisoners. But they don't want just all gangland people, obviously.
No.
In the same place. Now, DJ Kerry hasn't... applied for any appeals as far as I know of any of the sentence
No, no, not as far as I know. And I suppose like there's sources, you know, saying to us that he has expressed regret at what happened. And so I don't know whether that's part of him taking it on gin or whether is that to come or, you know, generally they do seem to kind of take their time with these appeals, don't they?
And, you know, sometimes people use them just as an excuse to do something while they're in prison. So it remains to be seen. But no, not that we're aware of. He hasn't looked for that yet.
Yeah, I mean, it was funny I'll write in some of the source quotes that they were, you know, there's a certain morality that they might look down on Kerry
Yeah, because, you know, they had relatives who died of cancer and, you know, he was kind of scamming good people. And that probably is, you know, that type of way. Some, you know, I don't know if it's the Jerry Hutch mentality where they had no choice, the group or nothing.
