"MAKE O’CONNELL STREET GREAT AGAIN!"
Like White, McGregor has also been critical of Ireland's immigration policies. The former two-division champion has often highlighted criminal activities perpetrated by non-Irish-born citizens or immigrants.

Conor McGregor goes off at Ireland's top politicians
On Monday, Conor McGregor went on a rant on X, directed at Michael Martin and Simon Harris, who are Irish politicians. The reason is a recent violent attack, allegedly by a South American immigrant. The victims were three adult males, aged from 24 to 40. Two suffered serious injuries while none were life-threatening.
Posting a picture of one of the victims on the tweet, McGregor claimed the problem is systemic and that Irish politicians have failed to address the root cause.
The 36-year-old also pointed out that the infrastructure of the nation isn't developed enough to contain the influx of immigrants. He previously addressed the housing crisis in the nation as well/
Criticizing the politicians for serving themselves and not the public, McGregor vowed to enter the political sphere as an independent alternative. The Irishman concluded the tweet by mentioning his upcoming meeting with Donald Trump, possibly hinting at a move to the political sphere.
