When asked by the Irish Mirror about the online comments of MMA Fighter Conor McGregor, Tánaiste Micheál Martin did not reference McGregor by name but said that many of the comments made by some people online have been “disgraceful”.

FURTHER DETAILS

Conor Anthony McGregor was born to parents Tony and Margaret McGregor on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. Raised in the rough working-class section of Crumlin, McGregor enjoyed playing soccer as a boy before finding an outlet for his aggression in boxing. He was a member of the Crumlin Boxing Club from age 11 to 17, winning a Dublin Novice Championship during that time. The Irish Mirror asked the Tanaiste about comments made by Mr McGregor including a suggestion that “Ireland is at war” and that “you reap what you sow”. We need to have the strongest laws possible so that we can hold those who incite hatred and violence to account.”

I don't believe he's attending the event. I mean I don't speak on his behalf, he's obviously someone that has his own views as everybody does. He has rightfully, given his influence, been roundly criticised for incendiary tweets last night that added to the rhetoric that fuelled last night's scenes. As such, there have been serious concerns over his involvement in Taylor's fight. McGregor stands 5'9" and has a 74" reach, measurements that usually give him an advantage in his matches. He has mostly fought as a featherweight (145 pounds) and lightweight (155 pounds) but has beefed up to 170 pounds for his welterweight bouts. Conor McGregor has continued to hit out at former teammate Artem Lobov by calling him a "rat" with the help of a kids toy.

He argued that there should be no criticism of the Gardaí for how they handled the protest. “The people who are responsible for crimes are those who commit them,” he said. McGregor's comments prior to the riots have also been strongly criticised by barrister and GAA pundit Joe Brolly.

Following the stabbing incident, protestors gathered at the scene before making their way to the O’Connell Street area, where buses, trams and Garda cars were set on fire, and a number of shops were looted. Later on last night, McGregor posted a photo of vehicles on fire on O’Connell Street and wrote: “ What would Daniel O’ Connell say I wonder? What would our Irish leaders past say on the situation we face today? God bless Ireland.”White, who called the incident the "most despicable thing in UFC history," said the Irish fighter attempted to justify his actions via text by explaining the bad blood between his and Nurmagomedov's camps. Turning himself in to the NYPD that night, McGregor was arrested and charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief. The Irish Mirror also asked Taoiseach Leo Varadkar about McGregor’s comments but he said he did want to comment on individuals. McGregor's beer brand have played a big role in the promotion of the fight. Forged Stout helped erect a statue to Katie Taylor near Bray Head. It will host a 'Dublin City Takeover' event tonight in Temple Car to promote the fight. McGregor and Hearn were both involved in a prefight event at Crumlin Boxing Club during the week. As a hugely recognised star in the fighting world, McGregor has fought - and lost - twice this year in the UFC and has already boasted of the financial reward. His defeat by Dustin Poirier in January attracted exactly 1,504,737 pay-per-view buys, which places it as the No.4 highest selling PPV of all time, falling just short of McGregor's UFC 202 rematch against Nate Diaz.

Some 34 persons were arrested throughout Thursday night. Speaking at Dublin Castle, the Tánaiste condemned the protests and said that it was not representative of “who we are as a people”.Earlier, McGregor posted an angry response to video footage of an interview with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris where he condemned the "disgraceful scenes" in Dublin on Thursday.
