Amidst the devastating news coming out of Ireland, Conor McGregor has voiced his concerns and pleaded for change after a violent attack left multiple in critical condition.
The mixed martial arts legend is among Ireland’s biggest stars, both financially and by name value, and has a large following in his home country. His word holds weight in that side of the world and he has spoken out in response to the attack.
Days ago, Conor McGregor showed support to Ryan Casey, boyfriend of Ashling Murphy who was murdered back in 2022, who spoke out following the death of his girlfriend.

What are we doing/what have we done to ensure this situation doesn’t happen again, Micheál? Since the heinous and horrific murder of an Irish citizen in broad daylight at the hands of a foreign criminal there has been a zero action response from the 3 parties in power. Nothing at… https://t.co/EZpu40Ql8R

Ireland, we are at war.

At just 23 years of age, Ashling Murphy was killed shortly after finishing work. The young lady was assaulted by a formerly unknown man who proceeded to strangle and stab his victim, leaving her to die of blood loss caused by the 11 stab wounds in her neck. On November 9 after months on trial, a Slovenian father of five, Jozef Puska, was found guilty of Murphy’s murder.
Earlier this week, multiple children and women were allegedly stabbed by an Algerian man, leaving two of them in critical condition. The sickening news didn’t sit well with McGregor who once again insisted there must be change for the Irish people. ‘The Notorious’ later shared his views on what should happen to the criminal who attacked the poor women and children.
Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and… https://t.co/ac6j1GIjXD

After being asked to call a ‘Freedom March’ in Dublin, Conor McGregor revealed that he does not condone the riots and assaults from the public towards the first responders. He did, however, demand that change happen and is willing to be the man to help Ireland get to where it needs to be.
I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face. I do understand frustrations however, and I do… https://t.co/FFx7d0ZROb

Despicable scenes last night in Dublin City centre. People looting shops amidst the anger and rage Ireland has for the many failed policies of government. Has this regime ever had even one successful policy? Health service in shambles. Abominable housing crisis. Immigration wide… pic.twitter.com/7BgRKVcbEd

The tragedies involving natives being assaulted or murdered by foreign migrants have rocked the nation. Alongside McGregor, those representing the Irish colors demand things to be put into place to prevent their own from being killed. The former two-division UFC champion took a firm stand on immigrants either making a change while living in the country or making way for new pastures.
