I think it's about time that this tool had his own thread.
I see he has been at it again this morning on social media, with messages about Paul Hughes, calling into question his Irishness cos he is from the north. I believe he has since deleted these "tweets" but they are easily found.
He was upset because Hughes is quoted as saying he wasnt like him, and that he is his own man, when speaking with the Dagestan's at the weekend fight.
McGregor continues on a downward slippy slope.
A rapist who wore a poppy and poses with Nigel Farage... only a misogynist racist loyalist would still be supporting that maggot.

Don't think too many here still support him do they?
His popularity in Ireland is surely pretty low at this stage? Yet, the knock-on hasnt spread around the world, or so it seems.
On a side note, I always wonder how a lad like this continues to enter the US with no problems, and an innocent person with a convicted family member cannot on occasion. Money talks I suppose.

No criminal conviction against him, plus they obviously treat "terrorism" convictions differently post 9/11. Daft I know.
In terms of his popularity in the US etc, if you were a fan theres enough doubt in the Nikita Hand case that people would side with him, and they probably dont know how big a sc**bag Farage and his mates are so aren't too bothered about McGregors links there.

Is a low bar with much of America... Trumps attitude to women well documented, is a God to most. Mike Tyson a convicted rapist still a hero...
Why is Fury barred then?
All Hughes had to say,was he wasn't from North Dublin.
A rape conviction and jail time has done Mike Tyson very little damage in the States.
They are very forgiving.

it was very dubious was it not? very rarely gets mentioned.
Was upheld in court of appeal. You're taking bout someone who bit part of an opponents ear off during a fight... but has since been beatified..
McGregor is obviously a low-life for carrying on w/ that Hand yoke, and he with a woman and childer at home. However, she hardly deserves much sympathy herself, flirting away, langered and high as a kite, and her w/ a fella herself. Are their respective partners only sticking around for the money, or what? As for Farage - no idea why he bothered shaking McGregor's had. He's hardly - as they say - much of a mover and shaker now, is he?
Is there not enough about this bastard in the far right thread?
he's back on the "refreshments" tonight it seems.
No doubt they'll be deleted again
Fair bit of America bashing here, which to an extent is understandable.
However look at the posts on here from some of your fellow irish posters on here, as well as Irish versions of the average trump supporter and the rise of the far right at home. Disgusting people and behaviors are not just limited to the big country across the Atlantic.
Only 2% vote far right here.
80 odd million Yanks voted for the **** in the White House.

Inspired by likes of Trump and Farage the fascists in US and UK.. however recent election would indicate far right hasn't got much support here. They bombed hopelessly... not that we can be complacent bout spread of the far right.
McGregor can't handle the soup or the drugs. Probably as he's so small.

Why? We are on a discussion forum here. Is he not worthy of discussion? He's a controversial figure, that is constantly in the public eye/media.

Some leap to compare Jarlath Burns and Joe Brolly with a racist far right, poppy wearing, partionist, west brit rapist... I think he beat up a pensioner as well. A thug.
But whatever floats your boat... thread next dedicated to Tommy Robinson.

could be that his downfall was down to the establishment being out to get him. Then again, it could also have something to do with him having raped someone.

Does Mods not even exist on here anymore?
McGregor had a great time on Twitter yesterday. Northerners are vermin apparently, doing with various racist and homophobic abuse directed at Derry's Paul Hughes.

A fine addition to the board
What is the deal with people defending Tyson on rape and mcgregor on what he did? Tyson's rape conviction is dubious so it sounds like it doesn't count and "yer wan" is as bad as mcgregor? Seriously?

I wasn't defending Tyson, just that his conviction is very rarely mentioned and he's still respected and looked up to even by traditional media and seems to have escaped the "cancelling" or what ever you'd want to call it.
Huge international "sports star". Was very talented fighter back in the day but has largely made his money from motor mouthing and "fighting" in a huge exhibition con. Completely lost his way as a fighter and sold out to cheap easy money. Keeps talking about getting back in the ring to remain relevant but he's the furthest thing from a serious fighter you could get. Blood pressure looks off the scale, head about to pop. Will be another BS exhibition if he does get back in ring.
Unfortunately still hugely popular. An absolutely terrible role model. Should be an inspirational figure in a sporting context for a small country like ours but there's too much fake, brash and unsavoury about him to ever be an Irish sporting hero to be proud of.
He had a huge role in promoting MMA to the mainstream. There are some great athletes and role models in the game and it is a skilled and disciplined sport but I don't think MMA in general is a very good role model to the masses. Maybe I'm old fashioned but pounding someone when they're prone and down and out on the floor doesn't sit well with me. Laying the boot in too. Growing up, if involved in a brawl, only a tr**p would not let someone up or kick when they're down.
For me the most striking thing was that Conor's comments to Paul Hughes were reactionary and instinctual. Throwing about phrases like "foreign" "the real Irish" and "you little know what you are **** from up there" just shows that these thoughts are on the minds of Southerners when talking about Northerners.
And I know its not all Southerners, but its not an insignificant number either. Even the finest Gaels in the South have been accused numerous times of abusing teams from the six counties calling them Nordies and Prods. Ironically a friend of mine from Armagh told me he was once called a "Nordie c**t" by Donegal men in Ulster Championship.
Sickening stuff, but a poppy-wearing racist acussing a Derry man of not being Irish is just a cherry on top.
McGregor has been using that kind of language since those riots etc and just grouped a northerner in with the way he talks about immigrants. A lot of it I imagine was reactionary and fuelled by any manner of substances. His race has been ran tbh. A has been. It is absolute car crash stuff how the man has went. He's one of those ones that if you looked at the news in the morning and read he was dead you wouldn't be surprised with the way he lives his life.
Armagh18 you used the word "dubious". I am not sure why you used that word for Tyson. Your explanation doesn't tally with your use of the word though fair enough.

I honestly don't know much about the whole Tyson case and had read (possibly one here or elsewhere) that there were a lot of questions around it and a lot of doubt whether he was actually guilty, was wondering if that is possibly why it doesn't get mentioned or if enough time has passed that people have moved on/forgiven him? I don't know.

Well I mean...it could be that his downfall was down to the establishment being out to get him. Then again, it could also have something to do with him having raped someone. Possibly not helped by him being a pensioner assaulting, racist, homophonic, partitionist, poppy wearing, facist endorsing, adulterous coke head.
She was also an adulterous coke-head. Not admirable specimens, either of them.
Which does not give him a licence to rape her.
No, didn't say it did. But she was just hoping for a big pay-out from the whole sordid affair. Put it this way, my heart bleeds for neither of them.
Quite entitled to a pay-out after being subjected to rape. Victim blaming is not a good look...
Nor is 'victim'-worship.
Is a desperate attitude to female victims here. Natasha O'Brien getting hammered on social for having the courage to speak out after that hammering from another maggot the soldier Cathal Crotty.
... if it had been a 'foreigner' carried out the rape or assault be total outrage, but victim blaming when our lads to do it.
What did Natasha O'Brien supposedly do wrong? If its the case I'm thinking of, remember seeing pictures of her face afterwards, jesus no woman deserves that beating so not sure how your mans actions could be defended
I've seen comments on social media suggesting she shouldn't have got involved like it was her own fault and many more now calling her a publicity seeker now.. many.
Original sentence tells you all about attitude to violence against women here. Took a female judge to jail him after Prosecution appealed leniency of sentence.

His mate was shouting homophobic abuse and she told him to stop, Crotty then battered her. He then boasted about it on Snapchat. A proper rat.

You said she was "no better than him".
Straight question: How is a rape victim who you describe as an adulterous coke head "no better" than a
rapist adulterous coke head? (One who also has a penchant for racism, assaulting pensioners, fascism, homophobia, partitionism and poppies?
James McClean has backed Paul Hughes after McGregor's mouthing:
"@PaulHughesMMA proper Irishman, keep flying that flag high, class act that fellow Northerners and fellow IRISH are PROUD of."

Nazifascists always blame victims, especially if they're female victims.
Unless of course the rapist/attacker is a foreigner.
They are lower than women in that mindset.
Conor, undisputed c#%t of the year.
It's sad to see to be honest. He had a lot going for him and could have been looked up to by so many in this country but has chosen to be the worst version of himself.
What he did in MMA was remarkable tbh. No other MMA fighter ever made a name for themselves like him.
Then he turns into this. Like you say - it's sad to see. Loads of Irish supported him and he has turned them against him between this and various other things. Now he's just a disgusting individual with nothing positive to contribute to society and but for his money you would wonder where he would be now.
I disliked him from the first moment I heard him yakking away - don't know why so many were impressed with the 'trash talk' endless slabbering.
Sounds like he's lost the plot. Thinks he's Tony Montana in Scarface..
According to report this morning (against Hughes again)..
Soon after, the 'Irishman' took the trash-talk to another level after he was filmed blasting a machine gun while telling Hughes to "eat lead." In a video posted online, McGregor captioned the footage: "YOU BUM, LICK A***, TURN COAT, BOOTLICKIN' MOTHERF******, EAT LEAD!"
As of yet, Hughes is yet to reply to McGregor. .
Hughes has handled himself well. Hopefully he just doesn't bother responding. The fella has lost the plot.

That didn't really bother me, just thought it was part of the persona to get people talking about fights and paying to watch, which in fairness it certainly did. Always thought he was abit of a bollox but did get a good laugh at him. From he got the Mayweather money he's gone completely off the rails.

Im not one to get involved in nonsense like this so Im not going to bother arguing with you
Maybe he'll find God and go on a redemption tour like the rest of them
I see McGregor is on a whirlwind tour of college sporting events.
From reading comments many in the US have no idea of half of what he got up to here.
Aligning himself with Trump will mean he remains relevant and 'popular' in the States for the next 4 years anyway among a chunk of the population - unfortunately

His planning application for a 3,000 sq m mansion in Kildare was refused by the Council.
Funny to see a man with a Scottish surname trying to say someone isn't Irish. Even stranger given that he used to be supportive to Michael Conlon.
That is the thing with southerners, they can appear to be nationalists but when something upsets them they quickly can throw British insults around. You see it all the time on GAA social media. When a player stamps on a player or pokes someone in the eye they are now British thugs.

The tricolour is the flag of an Independent Irish State.
The existence of said State means people from the 6 Cos. can get Irish passports and can be Irish citizens.
McGregor is still a bolx though.

There is no "can be Irish citizens", those born in the 6 counties are automatically Irish nationals by dint of place of birth and
can apply for a passport in the same manner as any southerner.
On McGregor, he's more than just a bollíx, he's a drug/drink addled fascist thug but sure why not extrapolate those odious character traits to that typical of the "southerner".
Think we can all agree McGregor is a p***k.
This whole thing is good publicity for your man Hughes, I'm sure theres plenty of people who'd never heard of him before this. Has he much potential as a fighter?

Well that's not true, the 27th Amendment made sure of that. Jus sanguinis applies.
Examining the point I think you were trying to make though, is that the case, rather than everyone is "entitled to Irish citizenship"? If everyone is automatically an Irish national, presumably the other side of that coin also holds true, and everyone is therefore automatically British too. I remember Fat boy Gavin Robinson tried to claim this and we were all up in arms. Similarly the arguement was at the centre of the Emma de Souza case.
Is McGregor still adored by some?
Half of america by the look of it, plus I still say a fair few in Dublin. Was never, what u call a role model, and I suspect he is, what a few of us thought of him, when he originally came on the scene.

100% from me, then be just became a complete and utter ballox.

Ali was slabbering about some dodgy enough stuff early on.
He had his moments tbf
They'll not be replaying McGregors best bits in 40yrs
McGregor was brilliant at the trash talking and was sharp with hus responses in every situation. Backed it up in the octagon too. But that was pre-Mayweather.
Ali didn't have to use curse words his entire life, in his trash talking, which he said he picked up from Gorgeous George when he went to watch wrestling, when he was younger.

If you are born in the 6 counties you are automatically a British citizen by dint of birth unless of course you go through the legal process and renounce that citizenship. I could have told Emma that for nothing. Yes I know there has been an amendment to the irish constitution, strictly confined to an Irish born child with foreign born parents no longer being entitled to Irish citizenship.
None of your nitpicking denies the fact that those born in the 6 counties are automatically Irish citizens unless (for the pedantically inclined) both parents are not Irish nationals. That amendment applies to the 32 counties.
The vast majority those born in the 6 counties are dual nationals at birth, All of those born in the 6 counties to at least one Irish national is automatically entitled to Irish citizenship
Have you renounced your British citizenship? I suspect most nationalists in the 6 counties have for some reason not renounced their British citizenship. What would Conor give for that 'privilege', to be entitled by birth to be a Brit?
No no no, eat your humble pie. You said anyone born in the North are automatically Irish nationals. This is categorically untrue. The constitution is not "nitpicking". You're just wrong.

I wrote that the latest amendment you are harking on about applies to all of the 32 counties not just the northern 6. Do you have anything to take issue with in my full reply to your post except to hark back (in nitpicking fashion) upon my original post on this matter which obviously did not cover all the citizenship criteria.
Everybody in the north (edit. born to at least one Irish national ) is automatically an Irish citizen and of course British as well. Unless you have renounced your British citizenship you're still British in the eyes of the law and subject to British Law as Emma found out.
And for anyone's information, those born in the 6 counties to parent/s or grandparents who never acknowledged their Irish nationality are still automatically Irish citizens as well as British.
Out of interest, has any person here born on the nationalist side in the 6 counties renounced their British citizenship?

I was in London back in the 80s working on a site. I was starting to hang about with these boys from Wexford and one day in the canteen one of them talked about Londonderry. I banged the table and said its Derry not Londonderry. That was me made and held in great regard from that moment on.

Your 'fair play' should be directed to the PR firm
So...
This thread is surprisingly quiet given where he was , and what he said
Any thoughts?
Ignore the piece of sh1te.
A decent incumbent of the White House would have invited Nikita Hand instead of that yoke.
But birds of a feather...

I think we have a lot more positive role models that could have attended, besides McGregor or Nikita Hand. As was said at the time the court case was just a depressing look into those lifestyles.
Use to think during his UFC days it was just a act but now it's clear he was simply playing himself a utter twat. Using the American platform and fellow twat Trump to secure funding and support as he runs to become Irish president. Unlike America he won't get enough idiots to vote him.

Zero chance of him running surely? He'll get as many votes as Bryson when he stood for elections. Whilst very vocal, numbers of right wing, rapist supporting fascists would be very small
You really would hope. Like someone said he'd likely have some money behind a campaign.
I don't know what he said in the whitehouse as I'd rather hear nothing from him (or Musk or Trump). A bunch of horrendous individuals the whole lot of them and it's a sad reflection on the world we live in that people like this have the platform that they do.
It's all a distraction.
You need 4 Councils or 20 members of the Oireachtas to nominate you before you can run for Uachtarán.
Would have thought Trump wouldn't have got in first time but is no accounting for the right wing madness that is US.
McGregor not a hope. A total sc**bag and only the dregs of our society think otherwise.
Amazing how people of the ilk of McGregor and the Tate brothers are so well regarded by MAGA.
I understand a certain bit of pushback against the worst excesses of wokeism and PC-ness, but this is miles past anything acceptable.

Conor McGregor in the White House on St Patrick's Day- such a snub for Martin and Harris.
But it put me thinking as to what the purpose might be. A warning to Paddy Government to pipe down and know your place, or else?
And then two other possibilities. One, there is a degree of traction for what McGregor was saying about immigration, and that is likely to increase in the coming years, especially if there is a severe economic downturn. Most right-minded people would find McGregor's attitude, arrogance and his reputation after the Nikita Hand case repugnant. The government can always point to this reprehensible opposition spokesperson to their policies as a sufficient justification for them to carry on, knowing that people wouldn't want to be associated in any way with McGregor's or any of his ilk.
Alternatively, it could be the start of a government push back or major change in immigration policy. The narrative has progressed so far and for so long that no government would announce an about-turn without facing a major furore. So if a boogeyman figure like Conor McGregor makes all the statements from arguably the biggest stage on the biggest day in the Irish calendar, the fuss will pass far quicker, and they can inch their way towards what McGregor was alluding to anyway.
I'm reminded of the scene in Lucky Number Slevin, when Bruce Willis is explaining the Kansas City shuffle. Very little in global, or even national, politics makes sense to me anymore, and I can't help but wonder about the drivers, the motives, and then the ulterior motives behind any political scenario anymore.
I'm not even that well-informed or tuned in politically anyway, so maybe my line of thinking is absolute bullshit. It's just this particular sequence of events has me especially confounded.
I think it's all more sinister than we think. Trump and Musk are determined to weaken the EU which would give the US more strength and continue the world reliance on the US dollar as the go to currency, they need to create unrest in certain countries to do so. They see McGregor as a pawn to stir up racial hate (I think they overestimate McGregors influence in Ireland) and hope that he can cause some friction between the Irish people and the EU. Hence their support for Tommy Robinson and I am sure similar ilk in other European countries. It is worrying times in the world with this gang in charge of the US
Enjoyed that post Substandard... resonates.
There's subversion at every turn it's impossible to really get a hold of wtf is being planned/coordinated/agreed behind the scenes but it certainly does not look like the wellbeing of society forms any part of their intentions.
Anyone who thinks that Trump is the head of the snake needs to open their eyes. He's a pawn like the rest of Wests leaders
I think Trump just found another very wealthy like-minded racist, misogynistic, sex offender in the mould of Musk, Tate brothers... Prince Andrew will probably rack up next for an audience with Donald. Politically he is far from astute..

Is there a housing crisis?
Is there an immigration crisis?
Is there a healthcare crisis?
Is there a law and order crisis in certain parts of Ireland?
Is the housing crisis, the healthcare crisis, the law and order crisis caused or exacerbated by immigration?

Yes all those problems are a reality but that bell end isnt going to make any difference. Global politics just needed this half wits input to make it a complete circus.
That's the thing that has me confused- to what extent (if any) are things like this orchestrated. McGregor is such a fundamentally unlikeable character, the immediate reaction is to dismiss anything he says. If McGregor says it, it can't be right because he's such a bollix. By conflation, if you happen to agree with something he says, so you're a McGregor fan boy, and you support a rapist?
Assuming it's a given that Trump is a polarising and divisive figure, then if you look at his actions and statements- how many are throwing out a kite for deflection, with statements like Greenland or Canada becoming states? Or the threats and pivots on tariffs and relocation of multinationals?
And back to our own little cabbage patch. The immigration industry is certainly a gravy train for some, e.g. the McEnaneys and Healy-Raes as two high-profile examples. Just because McGregor says it doesn't automatically make it endorseable.
Had an argument with a friend recently who has been leaning increasingly to the 'far right' of late, and he was citing various podcasts (I don't do podcasts). He reckoned sheep like me was the reason the country is going to hell. Which is fine as an opinion, my counter was what should we do- take over the GPO? Sheep are important, because they keep the show ticking along day to day, even under resentment. If there were no sheep and everyone was militant for their own particular causes or sets of beliefs, then there would be chaos.
But sheep can be herded, and pushed a particular direction, even ultimately over a cliff. This particular sheep is just worried because I've no idea what direction I'm being herded, or by whom, or for what outcome.

Prob a sheep myself but never thought of it that way. Lots of things i agree with on both sides of politics but it seems you're not allowed that view. I try to judge every situation on its own merits. But it's instance that everything is either far right or far left. As a society everyone seems to want to paint others as extremes, i find it really weird.

The great irony of it all is that those who regard everyone else as sheep and themselves as seeing through it all are the biggest fools of all, completely lead by the nose as they are, by whatever moronic podcast or alternative news source they think they are gleaning the 'truth' from.

Those things are definitely problems in Ireland.
I'm far from a fan of McGregor, but neither am I a fan of those gombeens Martin and Harris. Martin said recently about his poor record on housing , that he aims to build X amount of houses in the next 3-4 years. He'll likely be gone by then , sitting in some cushy number in Brussels or the IMF and won't be answerable to his housing failures.
Trump was correct when he said he aims to bring US businesses home. Why wouldn't he? He's the US president, not the Irish president. If Ireland had a dozen multinationals located in Canada or Australia, would we not be correct in luring them back here to contribute to the coffers and provide many jobs?
What happens to Ireland when these multinationals leave? Which they inevitably will. No more, what was it, £60b Apple windfall ? If FF/FG can't build houses with that windfall , how will they build houses without it? I fear for the Irish economy when the big businesses go home, and with a huge increase in immigrants , where will the country be then?

Austin Powers, the multinationals are here because they have free access to a market of 450m relatively well heeled people (among other things).

Why should multinationals leave, they do well here? Three quarters of multinational production does not go to the US. Irish companies, the likes of Smurfit or Cement-Roadstone, do have facilities in the US which serve the US market. The software companies have to have a European operation for a variety of reasons. If Trump has a load of tariff barriers then there will be new US companies wanted to open a branch in Europe.
There are different sorts of immigrants in Ireland, many of those associated with the multinationals are able people, they can do something else or will leave and go somewhere else.
There is certainly a case about housing, but it is not just a question of money, do you know any unemployed builders?
Just seen McGregor being referred to as Andrew Tayto.
Is there a housing crisis?
Is there an immigration crisis?
Is there a healthcare crisis?
Is there a law and order crisis in certain parts of Ireland?
Of the above questions, how many boarders are personally affected by it? Keen to hear
I don't imagine Trump could arbitrarily order a full recall of the multinationals- they have a hell of a lot invested in infrastructure and training their workforce, so I'd imagine there would be significant costs that would mitigate against it happening wholesome, at least in the short-term. That's not factoring market access, and a trade war on that scale would surely be too damaging to contemplate. Even if it were to happen on a phased basis, it would give time to prepare a Plan B (how far would you rely on our government, whoever it would be, to facilitate this is a whole other debate).
Again, I think it's more Trump kite-flying. It sounds good for the US public, it creates a degree of fear where these companies are based, but ultimately I think it causes ripples in the stock market that mega-funds can exploit. It's all a game, all smoke and mirrors, and nothing to do with us little people.

MR2 there is absolutely no doubt a healthcare crisis(in the north) and tbh ironically enough in the north it is (in part) due to foreigners but the reason it is in part due to foreigners is because there aren't enough of them as a load of the skilled ones left after brexit!

Quote from: johnnycool on March 19, 2025, 08:27:06 AMIs there a housing crisis?
Of course. But the roots of that are not in immigration. It's got a long list of causes, such as the planning system, the oversized power of the NIMBY lobby (it only takes one person to get a court injunction to block a housing development that would have added hundreds of housing units), etc.. Immigrants are not the cause of that.
QuoteIs there an immigration crisis?
Certainly not. A country like Ireland needs more immigrants, who skew towards working age, to support the growing number of dependents who are now living longer. Occupations like nursing are labour intensive and very hard to automate, so I can't think of any way of filling those roles without immigration.
QuoteIs there a healthcare crisis?
Yes, but see above. There are many issues with the way the Irish health system is managed, but it's hard to see how immigrants are at fault for that.
QuoteIs there a law and order crisis in certain parts of Ireland?
Local people commit crimes. Immigrants commit crimes. I've yet to see any evidence that immigrants commit crimes at a higher rate than locals. But an immigrant committing a crime will get many more acres of news print and generate far more outrage than a local doing the same or worse.
QuoteIs the housing crisis, the healthcare crisis, the law and order crisis caused or exacerbated by immigration?
It's a clever argument that immigrants are putting pressure on the housing market, but there are many factors feeding into it. Local people having children are also increasing demand for housing. Do we blame people for having children? I would argue that local NIMBYs who block construction of new housing are far more culpable in separating housing supply from demand, but it's ultimately the system that empowers them that needs to be reformed.
For healthcare, I would suggest that inept management is the biggest factor, and immigrants who can increase the supply of labour in that sector are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
For crime, the question is a bit loaded in that it presupposes that there is a law and order crisis. Crime comes in many categories, some of which will show increases and some will show decreases. Easily-accessible CSO stats on their website go back to 2003. Homicides seemed to peak in 2007, and haven't shown a discernible increasing trend since. Sexual offences seem to be increasing, but it's hard to know if that's down to increased incidents or increased reporting as people feel more free to speak out about it. It wasn't so long ago that church-run institutions were hell-holes in which today's sex offending stats would probably be dwarfed, but it all went unreported for years. Child abductions seem to be holding steady. Ditto for robberies.
Adjust it all for population and we're probably looking at a steady decrease in crime, which tracks with the rest of the developed world. ... Yup, just checked it. Overall per-capita decrease since 2007 (https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/IRL/ireland/crime-rate-statistics#:~:text=Ireland%20crime%20rate%20%26%20statistics%20for,a%2033.87%25%20decline%20from%202020.). I'd feel pretty confident in saying there is no "law and order crisis," to say nothing of anything we could blame on immigrants.

Anyone else have 'You'll do fookin nuttin' in the back of your mind?
I think this will be an Icarus outcome for McGregor. He's a useful tool for the time being, and they'll cash in on his status and following for as long as required (in a lot of social media pages outside of Ireland, the Hand case is barely registering).
When they feel they have gotten whatever they want or can from this transaction, he'll be dropped like a stone. If he tries to bite back, he'll get hit with some backlash.

12 days being around 1st April.
The fascists in the White House have picked the wrong horse to back in Ireland, if they think anyone will listen to McGregor.
It's clear they are intent on causing division and stirring up trouble across Europe.

Steve Bannon openly admitted in Trumps first term that they want to destroy the EU and destroy it from the inside. This time Trump has a team of Bannon like figures surrounding him and no surprise himself and McGregor get on so well.

People talk about the Monk, but he got 9.5% of the first preference votes in a dysfunctional area where he was the local, that meant something in a multi-seat constituency but would be quick elimination in a presidential election with only one seat. McGregor might have some fans in some districts, but other parts of the country would give him little, and those who voted for non rapist candidates would not transfer to him.

Free line of coke for every McGregor voter, he'll get in yet!
Can the president even do half the stuff mcgregor says he will do? Without the Oireachtas backing his ideas wouldn't it be a ceremonial position only?
I'd imagine McGregor knows as much about the role of president as the average 9 year old.

As I've already told ye he needs 4 Councils or 20 Oireachtas members to nominate him.

America's primitive voting system is vulnerable to being hijacked by extremists if people are divided between multiple moderate candidates. Ireland's STV system is not friendly to extremists and favours the centre. I'd be very surprised if McGregor made much headway in a campaign.

Absolute nonsense. Will be a complete failure to launch, to think any different is ridiculous....tbh, McGregor's lifestyle doesn't have much of a shelf life

This is the best way to deal with him. Treat him like the joke he is. This will wind him up more than people arguing about his views.
This would be the argument to call him out on.

Not sure that argument holds up too well - the proportion of Palestinian refugees is very small I'd say.
Official stats suggest that of 18,000 applicants for IP in Ireland in 2024 (from an EU total of nearly 900k), 2,900 were Jordanian and 957 were Palestinian - typically, Jordanian refugees are Palestinian apparently - if that's the case then the group represents the 2nd largest proportion of applicants, almost tying with Nigeria at 20% each. The country of origin of the third country on the list was Pakistan with about 1,300. Neither Jordan nor palestine featured in the top 5 previous to 2024.

GAABoard ahead of the news cycle
Irish Times (https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2025/07/02/court-to-refer-withdrawn-material-in-conor-mcgregor-appeal-for-consideration-of-possible-perjury/)
Court to refer matter to the Director of Public Prosecutions
The Court of Appeal is to refer, for consideration of possible perjury, material related to a fresh evidence sought to be admitted on behalf of Conor McGregor, but later withdrawn. The material was related to his appeal against a High Court civil jury finding in favour of Nikita Hand, who alleged he raped her in a Dublin hotel.
The evidence, in which Ms Hand's neighbour claimed she witnessed a physical altercation between Ms Hand and her then partner within hours of the encounter between Ms Hand and Mr McGregor in the Beacon hotel was dramatically withdrawn by his side at the outset of his appeal on Tuesday.
Ms Hand had described the evidence as "lies" and said Stephen Redmond never assaulted her during their relationship.
Mr McGregor's appeal over the November 2024 jury finding concluded on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the court heard a linked appeal by James Lawrence (36), Rafter's Road, Drimnagh, over a refusal to award him costs against Ms Hand following the jury decision he had not assaulted her after Mr McGregor left the hotel on December 9th, 2018. Judgment on both appeals will be given on a later date.
McGregor has paid off people in the past to make criminal matters disappear. He will duck out of this one too.

I think the DPP, who are still embarrassed by not prosecuting the rape, may do him for one or both of the seemingly paid 'witnesses'.
There definitely seems to be a case of coming at him hard for that. He brought the appeal and then withdrew the evidence. I honestly wonder if he did any time would he be a hero in jails or would lads go for him?
Very coincidental that this is all happening around the nomination period for the Aras lads . . . there's a deep state in Ireland too y'know!!!! :o :o
It will take a lot more of this to turn the yanks against him. Kobe Bryant and Mike Tyson were still heroes after their...ahem, misdemeanours.

I assume CMG himself wasn't involved in this directly. Could be a tough one to prove he was the instigator
I read today the neighbor stated in her affidavit she saw this new evidence from her bedroom window. Her bedroom window looks over her own back yard and she lives opposite Nikata! Can you imagine how pissed off they are about that mistake.
Pretty scathing judgement in truth from the Court. Very surprised how damning it was
I think the idea that the courts were being weaponised with lies against a victim has them enraged.
Would the barrister/ solicitor be in trouble or are they acting in good faith based on new testimony from members of the public. I would have thought they would need to interogate the pair of them and it wouldn't be so late in the day that we learn that their bedroom window wasn't even facing Nikita Hand's house!
I doubt McGregor was directly involved (as in big bag of cash) but him and all those in his sphere are so used to doing what they want that they presume they will get away with it.
Like have the lads who stabbed the partner been caught or where is that investigation?

What if they turn on him and say McGregor put me up to it? Doubt it would be hard to convince a jury that he did?

McGregor would have their house burned out fairly sharply.
Nikita Hand suing McGregor and the two "witnesses". Serious balls on her.
Quote from: Captain Scarlet on August 01, 2025, 11:26:58 AMI think the idea that the courts were being weaponised with lies against a victim has them enraged.
Would the barrister/ solicitor be in trouble or are they acting in good faith based on new testimony from members of the public. I would have thought they would need to interogate the pair of them and it wouldn't be so late in the day that we learn that their bedroom window wasn't even facing Nikita Hand's house!
I doubt McGregor was directly involved (as in big bag of cash) but him and all those in his sphere are so used to doing what they want that they presume they will get away with it.
Like have the lads who stabbed the partner been caught or where is that investigation?

It's not unusual to not speak to all witness until close to a trial date or even on the morning of trial. Equally it's not unusual for a witness/defendant to present differently in advance of a hearing versus on the day. Only at that stage can you really assess the value of a witness.
However evidence has to be gathered in advance and you can't ambush the other side.
So what happens is the affidavit will have been taken and sworn then lodged the person making the affidavit will have been warned about the truth of same. Some or all of the lawyers involved would likely have then spoken to them in advance of the hearing. Then again on the morning. Then at that stage further advice will be provided about the value in leading certain evidence. There's any number of reasons why after doing that parts of an appeal may be abandoned and not all of them are we think these people are lying.
The views of the client may have changed, they may have taken legal advice on board better etc etc. Ultimately counsel can not mislead the Court as that's who their duty is to but at the same time they act on instruction.
So I know one of the Senior Counsel in the case quite well. There is no chance he would have taken part in anything untoward and neither would the others. So no counsel/solicitors are not at fault as far as I can see in this case but of course I could be wrong.
All that said I see McGregor has highly criticised his lawyers today.

My read on this is it was his legal team who pulled the plug on this wheeze. Unfortunately someone leaked it to the press in advance so there is no putting it back in the bad idea bottle.
He has made a serious mistake. He has taken on the state and it's institutions

Once the couple made their affidavit about the supposed ruckus in Nikita's home, is it so that regardless of them not turning up to testify, that affidavit can be subject to investigative scrutiny as to the truth of its contents - as in false testimony? They can't just withdraw the affidavit before the court case begins?
Should Nikita not wait for the results of such an investigation before suing the couple? or in any event can her legal team just proceed and attempt to satisfy a civil court that the couple lied?

It's complicated. Affidavits are confidential until they are opened in court. My understanding is these affidavits were opened at an early preliminary hearing. Hand would be entitled to sue from that stage. She would also be able to sue in respect of any public pronouncements of same. I haven't paid enough attention to the exact timeline but I don't see any issue with commencing proceedings now.
A parallel criminal proceeding would help if successful but hurt if unsuccessful.
Thanks David, informative as always.
How deluded is this maggot? Starting a petition to change the rules so he can run for President....
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/conor-mcgregor-resorts-petition-hoping-202027047.html
Thick rapist doesn't realise it needs a Referendum.
On the RTE news website there's an excellent account (https://www.rte.ie/news/analysis-and-comment/2025/0803/1526684-mcgregor-court/) by Orla O'Donnell, RTE Legal Affairs Correspondent, on last week's legal proceedings in McGregor case. I think Justice O'Moore should run for president.
This week, the former MMA fighter Conor McGregor lost his appeal against a High Court jury's finding that he raped Nikita Hand.
Some snips from the article
Nikita had prevailed in "one of the most hard fought trials of recent years". But her reputation had continued to be attacked by Mr McGregor, not only in his social media posts but in his tactics in this appeal.
If Mr McGregor won, it would mean Nikita Hand would have to go through a high-profile civil trial all over again and there was a further risk for her: If Mr McGregor's friend, James Lawrence, won his separate appeal over the refusal to award him his legal costs, then her award of just under €250,000 in damages could be wiped out and she could end up financially ruined.
The court's decision was given by Mr Justice Brian O'Moore. He said he would not read it all out, but it still took more than an hour to go through the issues.
For Ms Hand, it was a rollercoaster.
At times, the outcome looked bleak. It was only when the court made its ruling on the final issue of James Lawrence's costs, that the full extent of her vindication became clear.
Mr Justice O'Moore dealt extensively with Mr McGregor's application to introduce "new evidence" which had "come to light" since the trial conclude
He said the affidavits were "very comprehensive and clear" and had been sworn in January this year.
Neither Ms O'Reilly nor Mr Cummins said they had any difficulty remembering the incident or expressed any doubt about their evidence and he said they would have been stress tested by Mr McGregor's lawyers, long before the eve of the appeal hearing.
(The article describes how the judge went on to great length, comprehensively deconstructing the attempted stroke by McGregor to introduce that "new evidence" )
McGregor's PR executives claimed RTÉ News and others, were wrong to say the jury's verdict meant the jurors found he had raped Nikita Hand. They continued to send such emails sporadically in the following months.
The judge said the jury's verdict meant they believed Mr McGregor raped Nikita Hand, whereas Mr Lawrence gave evidence that the sex between Ms Hand and Mr McGregor was consensual.
Judge O'Moore said Ms Hand's account must have been believed by the jury and Mr Lawrence's account must have been rejected.
Therefore, he said Mr Lawrence's evidence on this issue could only be regarded as untruthful.
The court ruled that the giving of such evidence was a very serious matter and was enough on its own to deprive Mr Lawrence of his costs.
But it found another significant factor was the evidence of Mr McGregor that he had paid those costs for Mr Lawrence.
If Mr Lawrence did repay Mr McGregor then it would mean Ms Hand would have to make a payment to a man who gave inaccurate evidence about her and ultimately to the man who raped her.
This, he said, should weigh heavily with the court.
The judge also pointed out that having two sets of lawyers to cross-examine Ms Hand brought significant advantages to Mr McGregor.
Unusually Nikita was awarded 'costs at the highest level means someone will get back almost everything they have spent, including all the costs they have accrued with their own solicitor'
Just bringing drug testing as part of the nomination process and good character references, he be up shit creek!!

Naw I don't see it. IMO he would get negligible votes if he was ever able to stand. A few years ago he may have had a bit of a following. But the majority of that has dropped of. He's a sc**bag. A very unlikeable one at that.

I'd hope that anyone with a vote sees him for the sc**bag he is. But I reckon there seems to be a decent chunk of them who support his outspoken anti-immigration stance regardless. Ironically they might think voting for conor f**king mcgregor will sort out their perceived problems.

That's Yanks for ya.
Look the poor votes for National Party and the likes in elections. Most don't even get their deposits back. McGregor will make A LOT of noise, amplified by bots and people from UK and USA who don't understand what the Irish president can do.
Plus, you will have every decent news outlet, and not just the clickbait crews, reporting on him as they also need the clicks. Again lots of noise and then they will kick up stink and conspiracy if he doesn't get the support to go for it.
Sadly there are a lot of young lads who love their coke and their gym who think he's a great lad.
How many does he need get on the petition? We thought the same craic with Hutch and look were that nearly landed. Some nerve on him after the rape issue, thumping people in bar/nightclubs, vugular steady profanities in most sentences. Various indecent proposals, sending dick pics out of the blue, the obvious heavy drug and coke issue. More a candidate for a early grave rather than Irish Presidency. Bet the house Trump, fool that he is , give some sort of recommendation.
