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.
Looks like Danny Devito.
Danny Devito as Bilbo Baggins.
That man enjoys gentle mornings beside the goose garden.
What a true patriot looks like.
If the rape verdict gets upheld then he could try the USA presidential race next. I’ve heard they vote in convicted rapists.
lol what Trump didn’t give a rapist boxer a boost in popularity for a presidential bid in Ireland by doing some BS PR with him? What??? What madness has this world come too?
He looked at Trump and his shenanigans and said, “If he can do it, I KNOW I can”. Fortunately the Irish seem to be much smarter at making choices.
McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.

A sore loser, terrible character, sexual criminal, and a zionist. He’s got the full package
Good for the Irish.
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
I think Trump has found his new head of DOGE
We heard similar responses about Trump’s first candidacy… Hopefully this sticks.
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
That’s what we said about trump lol good luck
Thankfully Ireland is a bit more switched on than America
He’s a scumbag with money
So are a significant number of politicians around the world, yet we keep electing them
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
CTE is a helluva drug
Anabolic steroids and exogenous hormones are a hell of a drug
God damn, yet another country putting assholes at the forefront of their country. Hey, America, take note.
This story is about how the complete opposite of what you said is true.
France ending LePen’s political career after her conviction, too. Meanwhile the whole world looking at the US like “You guys can elect covicted felons with 30+ charges?”
I may be traumatized, but I can already see the reasonable objection of a rape conviction retconned in bought media as elitists initially rejecting the people’s choice, nothing is unhappenable any more, the more absurd and chaotic the less avoidable
Anyone can say they’re running for anything, what’s your point?
