Middle Ireland reacted strongly against US President Donald Trump's choice to host Conor McGregor, a controversial figure facing sexual assault allegations, on St. Patrick's Day. This decision, overshadowing the traditional symbol of Irish leaders presenting shamrocks, has heightened tensions, as McGregor's legal troubles resonate negatively with the Irish public. His ambitions to run for Irish president appear unlikely to succeed due to constitutional hurdles. While Ireland's central political landscape remains stable, the outrage reflects deep divisions over representation and values between Ireland and the US administration's choices.
Fear and loathing of the mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, who is facing civil trial in the US for alleged sexual assault of another woman in Florida, is one of middle Ireland's most unifying forces.
McGregor presented Musk with a box of his own brand cigars. Four days later, the Dubliner, self-styled the notorious, announced he intends to contest the Irish presidential election later this year.
