The Young Irelands team was targeted by thieves as they played a challenge match at Tinryland in Carlow during the week and their most famous son, DJ Carey, has branded the culprits as "arseholes and scumbags".
DJ's brother had his white BMW 520 (131KK1074) stolen as the challenge game against O'Loughlin Gaels was in progress while his son Sean had a phone taken.
The Meath senior footballers were also victims of theft during the week as they trained at Pairc Tailteann and robberies at GAA club and county grounds has reached epidemic proportions in recent times.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, DJ blasted: It's becoming ridiculous. There have been a number of attacks.
"On the same night as the robbery of the Young Irelands players, Carlow IT was also robbed. The thieves are getting dressed up in tracksuits so they blend in. It's very professional.
"There are not enough gardai because of cutbacks and at the same time if they do get caught these arseholes and scumbags get free legal aid and a slap on the wrist from the courts."
