Summary
Conor McGregor’s bid for Ireland’s presidency has been overwhelmingly rejected by politicians, with all 134 Oireachtas members surveyed by Sky News refusing to support his nomination.
Citing his divisive rhetoric, lack of qualifications, and ongoing legal battles—including a rape verdict under appeal—politicians used strong language to dismiss his fitness for office.
McGregor’s anti-immigration platform, announced after meeting Trump, is believed to be more about boosting his U.S. profile than a serious campaign, as experts say he faces significant hurdles to appear on the ballot.
The current president is the man. Connor ain’t got shit on this dude.
Oh he looks like a president of Ireland alright
Looks like Danny Devito.
Danny Devito as Bilbo Baggins.
What a true patriot looks like.
Good for the Irish.
That’s what we said about trump lol good luck
Thankfully Ireland is a bit more switched on than America
If the rape verdict gets upheld then he could try the USA presidential race next. I’ve heard they vote in convicted rapists.
I think Trump has found his new head of DOGE
He’s a scumbag with money
So are a significant number of politicians around the world, yet we keep electing them
I would genuinely rather we didn’t have a president at all
I know how you feel more than I think you can fathom, unnamed TD
It was always just some stupid attention seeking bulls***. I mean Come ON! The fact the rapist president invited the rapist boxer over. Are we not deep enough into the twilight zone they have to drag us further in. They enjoy wasting our time
God damn, yet another country putting assholes at the forefront of their country. Hey, America, take note.
Anyone can say they’re running for anything, what’s your point?
