The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) authorised that they would face a trial on indictment.
Books of evidence were served on them when they appeared before Judge Shalom Binchy at Dublin District Court today.
Out of the 51 charges in the books of evidence, 31 pertained to Ms. Carey, eight to her brother Jack, and 12 to Mr Maher, 57, from the Glenmalure Gun Club in County Wicklow, who is accused of related offenses.
Judge Binchy told them they were being returned for trial to the next sitting of Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where the case will be listed for mention on 23 May.
They were warned to notify prosecutors if they intended to rely on alibis in their defence.
The trio spoke only to confirm the signatures on their bail bonds and have yet to indicate pleas.
Connected charges are to be added to the indictment later.
Legal aid was granted.
A fourth man is due back in court at a later date and accused of connected offences.
Previously, Ms Carey was sent forward for trial on other money laundering charges, along with Mr Maher and another man, who were accused of deception and acting unlawfully as solicitors while not qualified, from July 2019 to February 2022.

DJ Carey brought to book - 'riveting exposé' on hurling star out later this year
DJ Carey is being brought to book amid the scandal of his admission to fraud and fake cancer claims. Merrion Press has announced that it will be publishing 'The Dodger', written by former KCLR presenter Eimear Ní Bhraonáin, in October, with Carey due to be sentenced on the 29th of that month after admitting to defrauding a number of people while pretending that he had cancer. The 54-year-old has been remanded on continuing bail until his sentencing though did not attend the All-Ireland hurling final earlier this month when the 2000 Kilkenny team, of which he was a key member, was honoured. His name was met with jeers from sections of the Croke Park crowd when it was called out, however. The title is a play on the nickname that Carey originally acquired as a player and a description of the book from the publishers says that it is a 'riveting exposé'. The cover of the upcoming book on DJ Carey. (Image: Merrion Press) It adds: 'DJ wasn't just a hero on the pitch – his easy charm, generosity, and readiness to meet young fans made him a national treasure. 'Throughout his meteoric rise, strange rumours followed him. In 2003, shocking claims that DJ was dying of cancer swept the country. Who would spread such a story about one of Ireland's most beloved sporting legends? And what could possibly be gained from it? 'Two decades later, the truth emerged. DJ Carey was arrested and charged with deception and forgery – accused of faking cancer to con money from those who trusted him most. For years, he had been telling the same lie to generous supporters who believed they were funding life-saving treatment in the US. 'In this riveting exposé, Eimear Ní Bhraonáin uncovers the extraordinary fall from grace of a national icon, and how he betrayed the fans that once loved him.' The book is clearly aimed at the lucrative Christmas market though with it set to be released ahead of Carey's sentencing, an updated version will likely be published in the aftermath.

Gardaí on alert as suspected gunman in Gary Carey murder freed from prison
Criminal parties at dance music event after his release from jail The scene of the shooting and (inset) Gary 'The Canary' Carey Gardaí are closely monitoring the activities of a volatile criminal who is the suspected gunman in the murder of gangland figure Gary 'The Canary' Carey three years ago. The dangerous Dublin criminal who has almost 150 criminal convictions was recently released from jail and celebrated by attending a dance music event with friends at the weekend. His latest sentence was for his role in a mob attack on unarmed gardaí. The burly gangster, who is considered to be one of Ireland's most violent criminals, spent over two years in jail after this conviction. The suspected gunman was one of five people - two males and three females, including a woman who was well known to Carey – who have been arrested by detectives investigating the brutal shooting. One of the women is suspected of leaking details of his movements to the gang who killed him. In the suspected gunman's case, he was arrested by gardaí in 2023 in Mountjoy Prison. A file has been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who is expected to make a decision on the case in the coming months. Sources say that there is 'serious concern' for local gardaí that the west Dublin criminal is now back on the streets as he has been involved in serious violent crime since he was a juvenile. His string of previous convictions include robbery, aggravated burglary and road traffic offences. He is strongly linked to veteran gang boss Derek 'Dee Dee' O'Driscoll whose associates are suspected of ordering the murder of notorious criminal Carey who died six weeks after being shot multiple times in an underground car park in Kilmainham, south Dublin. Father-of-three Carey (41) was discovered in a serious condition in the underground car park of the Hilton Hotel by staff before being rushed to hospital on June 24, 2022. He was told 'the argument was now over and he was safe to come home' Carey died from his injuries at St James's Hospital on August 5 that year and the case has been the subject of an investigation by Kilmainham gardaí. A line of inquiry in the investigation is that Carey, who had been hiding out in Spain, was lured back to Dublin when a senior gangster he had been in dispute with over money and drugs turf told him 'the argument was now over and he was safe to come home', according to sources. However, just hours after coming back home, he was the victim of a fatal shooting which was the third time Carey was shot within a 15-month period. In March 2021, Carey escaped serious injury when a bullet grazed his head in an incident in Ballyfermot, west Dublin. Eight months later, 'The Canary' who was from Islandbridge, Dublin, was lucky to survive after he was shot outside a house in Ballyfermot. Last month, Finglas criminal Patrick 'Fishy' Fitzgerald was jailed for seven years on organised crime charges for providing getaway cars for the gang who unsuccessfully attempted to murder Carey at Ballyfermot Parade on November 17, 2021. On that occasion, Carey sustained two gunshot wounds to his torso when his car was blocked in. Carey fled from the vehicle, ran back through the house and climbed over a wall in the rear garden of another property where he remained until gardaí and ambulance crews arrived.

The GAA slammed over DJ Carey decision on All-Ireland final day
The GAA's decision to honour DJ Carey ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final has been questioned by fans. The former Kilkenny player's name was called out as the All-Ireland-winning Cats team from 2000 were honoured at Croke Park ahead of the decider between Tipperary and Cork. Jeers rang out around the stadium as Carey, who was not in attendance, was honoured alongside his former teammates. The Croke Park stadium announcer said of the nine-time All-Star winner: "Full forward DJ Carey from the Young Irelands. He scored 1-4 on the day, claiming his third All-Ireland of five in total and he would end the year with the eighth of his nine All-Star awards. DJ is not with us today." A large number of people took to social media to vent their frustration over the GAA's decision to honour the 54-year-old. One person wrote on X: "As a man who has lost both parents to cancer & I know the pain it brings on them & the family, but for the GAA even to put this c***, DJ Carey into their thoughts on this day is a kick in the bollox to all the cancer sufferers & survivors of this horrible disease & to all the people who he's scammed out of hundreds of thousands of pounds for his own gain." Another said: "Should of never had his name mentioned. He is no hero. Only a living disgrace." Someone else commented: "Sad that such an outstanding player would ruin his legacy to do what he done. To think children used to look up to him in awe at his skills on the hurling field." One other person stated: "They shouldn't have mentioned him at all!" Carey was named man of the match in Kilkenny's 2000 final victory over Offaly, scoring 1-4 as they triumphed with a scoreline of 5-15 to 1-14. The five-time All-Ireland champion recently pleaded guilty to 10 counts of defrauding several individuals by falsely claiming he had cancer. The 10 charges Carey confessed to involved a total of 13 victims, including Denis O'Brien, Owen and Ann Conway, Mark and Sharon Kelly, Aidan Mulligan, Tony Griffin and Christy Browne, Thomas Butler, Jeffrey Howes, Noel Tynan and Edwin Carey. Carey first donned the Kilkenny jersey in 1988 and continued to play until 2006. He is undeniably one of hurling's all-time greats, boasting 10 Leinster Senior Championship medals, five All-Ireland titles, four league titles and a Player of the Year award in 2000. He also amassed nine All-Star awards throughout his career, second only to Henry Shefflin who has 11.
