Irish prosecutors are reportedly considering bringing charges against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor for social media posts he made in late 2023 about the anti-immigration protests at Dublin which later escalated into violent clashes leaving dozens injured. Mr. McGregor has long been outspoken about restricting immigration to Ireland. 

According to the Irish Independent, law enforcement officials in the country have sent a completed file to prosecutors about Mr. McGregor’s social media posts and the alleged impact they had on the escalation of violence at the Dublin riot. The file is now in the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions at the Irish Attorney General’s office, the agency responsible for bringing charges and trying criminal cases in the country.
