Irish Mail on Sunday. In a two-page spread in the 1 February 2015 Irish Mail on Sunday, reporter Michael O’Farrell exposed the central characters behind the fraud of “Maria Divine Mercy” as the public relations mother-daughter team of Mary and Sarah Carberry and millionaire retired dentist Breffni Cully. This is the first major media exposure of the four-year-old scam that claimed messages from heaven. The Irish scammers sold books and medals to an estimated million-plus followers with promises that wearing the penny-value trinket would assure eternal life in paradise.Irish Mail investigative reporter Michael O’Farrell’s research included a personal confrontation with Mary Carberry, who uses her maiden name McGovern in business. O’Farrell quotes Carberry: “I’m sorry. I’m not going to get involved with internet trolls who are trying to destroy my life because of a job I did for somebody.” She adds, “I can’t deal with this c**p. I’m sorry. But if you honestly believe this s**t, you can.”
