Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has claimed he does not “condone” violent riots and clashes between members of An Garda Siochana and groups of the public in Dublin overnight following an attack on Parnell Square yesterday afternoon, after Tanaiste, Micheal Martin accused the Crumlin native of “inciting hate” through “absolutely disgraceful” posts on social media.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight titleholder under the banner of the UFC, claimed Ireland was “at war” earlier this week, questioning the country’s policy on immigration, before he was accused of “inciting hate” by Minister for Foreign Affairs, Martin, following last night’s riots in Dublin city center.
