DJ Carey's sentencing takes centre stage on most of the front pages of Irish newspapers on Tuesday.

The Irish Times leads with Judge Martin Nolan on DJ Carey:  “A final comment. I couldn’t imagine a more reprehensible fraud than to tell people you had cancer and to extort money from them on that basis.”

The former Kilkenny hurler was given five and a half years in jail for the defrauding of almost €400,000 from over 20 people while pretending to have cancer.

The Irish Examiner leads with Carey's sentencing as well, and also reports on Taoiseach Micheál Martin and a number of Fianna Fáil ministers confirming they received training from broadcaster and former agriculture minister Ivan Yates.

Bishop Lucey Park will reopen to the public in less than two weeks, Cork City Council has confirmed.

The park closed in December 2022 for redevelopment and has remained closed, but a council spokesperson confirmed to The Echo that it will reopen on November 14th.

Asylum seekers who fail to comply with new rules requiring them to make a financial contribution towards their keep will not be asked to leave their accommodation, the Irish Independent reports.

DJ Carey's sentencing dominates the front page of Tuesday's Irish Daily Mirror, with the paper labelling him a 'fallen GAA idol'.

Similarly, Carey's sentencing takes centre stage on the front page of the Irish Daily Star on Tuesday.

Once a superstar, DJ Carey's legacy is now a pathetic image of a cheat with a charger up his nose to carry out a wicked fraud, according to the Irish Daily Mail.

Judge Nolan said Carey's reputation has been destroyed and "his good name will probably never recover", The Herald reports.
