GAA legend investigated for fraud 'lived off cancer scam for years'

The GAA legend being investigated for fraud hasn’t worked in years, we can reveal.

Close friends claim he was funding his lavish lifestyle with the money he allegedly raised under false pretences to pay for cancer treatment that he never actually had. It is understood he spent much of his time golfing and going on GAA-related trips and freebies all over the country and to many parts of the world.

But he also lived in the lap of luxury with homes at the poshest addresses in Ireland. The one-time player funded his lifestyle for the last 10 years with money he received from other people which ranged from €100,000 to €150,000 a year.
