Conor McGregor recently appeared at the White House, surprising attendees with comments on issues facing Ireland, including illegal immigration. His remarks, branding Ireland as the 'little bro' needing U.S. support, drew sharp criticism from Irish leaders. Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated that McGregor's statements misrepresented St. Patrick's Day's spirit of community and friendship. Tanaiste Simon Harris also clarified that McGregor is in the U.S. in a personal capacity and does not have the authority to represent Ireland or its citizens.
St. Patrick's Day around the world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship. Conor McGregor's remarks are wrong and do not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, or the views of the people of Ireland.
Tánaiste Simon Harris stated that Conor McGregor does not represent Ireland or its people, emphasizing that he is present in a personal capacity without any mandate.
