DJ brushes aside ‘big intrusion’ into his life

DJ CAREY yesterday thanked those who supported him last week as a number of tabloid newspapers attempted to expose his marital problems Kilkenny’s All-Ireland-winning captain described the situation prior to last Sunday as a “big intrusion” into his life, yet he brushed it aside saying that “these things happen.”

Carey said that he generally enjoyed excellent relations with the media. He revealed that the majority of the mainstream hurling and sports media backed him fully last week when various tabloids were trying to expose marital problems

“I was getting text messages from those guys apologising for the fact that journalism seemed to have hit a new low,” Carey told RTÉ radio last night. “I cannot answer for those people, if that is what they consider to be journalism. All I can say is maybe they should get a new job.”
