DJ must repay €9.5m

FORMER Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey and his partner, Sarah Newman, have been ordered to repay almost €9.5 million to AIB.

Representatives of the high profile couple — Ms Newman is a former ‘Dragon’ on Dragon’s Den — were before the Commercial Court.

In April 2007, Mr Carey took a €7.85m mortgage on a property at the Ladycastle estate in The K Club in Co Kildare and a property at Mount Juliet in Co Kilkenny. In May of the same year, he also guaranteed €1.5m of the liabilities of Ms Newman.
