The Irish government has vowed to sabotage Conor McGregor’s presidential ambitions, citing alleged misogyny and hate. Barely had the UFC star thrown his hat into the ring when prosecutors announced plans to slap him with hate-incitement charges.
Left-leaning officials in Ireland seem to have borrowed a tactic straight from the American playbook, where lawfare has long been wielded to kneecap outspoken figures. McGregor’s candidacy, announced with his trademark bravado, now faces a legal storm that echoes the relentless judicial battles seen across the pond in the United States over recent years.

Irish Prosecutors Mull Charging Conor McGregor with ‘Inciting Hatred’ After Presidential Bid Announcement
In the wake of Conor McGregor announcing his intention to run for president, Irish prosecutors are reportedly considering charging the UFC legend over allegedly “inciting hatred” amid the 2023 Dublin riots.
In the wake of McGregor being invited by the Trump administration to the White House and later announcing his intentions to run for the Irish presidency, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Dublin is said to be examining social media posts from the outspoken mixed marital artist for potential criminal charges, the Irish Independent reported.
According to the paper, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) recently sent the DPP a police file regarding an investigation into posts McGregor made in 2023. If the prosecutors take up the case, the Irish fighter could face up to seven years in prison for his social media comments under the European nation’s draconian speech restrictions.
One of the supposedly offending posts came on the night before the Dublin riots, in which McGregor said in response to Ukrainian refugees being allowed to vote in local elections: “Ireland, we are at war.”
