Fraudster’s deaf victim ‘left very hurt and angry’

A deaf victim of DoneDeal fraudster Patrick Matthews has been left “very hurt and angry” by his former flatmate’s deception.

That is according to the mother of the deaf man, Shane Carey, who yesterday gave her own victim impact statement on the effect the crimes of Mr Matthews have had on the Carey family.

The victim impact statement by Anne Carey was one of eight victim statements handed into Ennis District Court yesterday in relation to the crime spree committed by Matthews, aged 34, that spanned from March 10, 2015, to February 20, 2016.
