'The Notorious' started by labeling the United States as a big brother to the country of Ireland. McGregor then stated that he wanted to highlight the issues being faced by his country and how, according to him, the current Irish government was incapable of solving problems like illegal immigration.
"We wish to be taken care of by the big bro. The United States should look after its little bro... I'm here to raise the issues that people of Ireland face... Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland and it's high time that America is what aware of what is going on in Ireland. What is going on in Ireland is a travesty. Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability. Our money is being spent on overseas issues that hs nothing to do with the Irish people. The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country... So, issues need to be addressed and the 40 million Irish Americans, as I said, need to hear this.
