US EditionMcGregor Not 'Fit' to Be President
IRELAND, AUG 10 – A minister said McGregor is unfit for presidency amid his recent legal loss and constitutional nomination rules requiring parliamentary or local authority support.
- Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien expressed the view that Conor McGregor is unsuitable to hold the office of President of Ireland following McGregor’s announcement of his intention to seek nomination.
- McGregor plans to legally challenge the presidential nomination process, which requires nomination by 20 parliament members or four local authorities and clear constitutional rules.
- The legal dispute arises after McGregor's recent failure to overturn a civil court decision that ruled in favor of Nikita Hand, who won her lawsuit alleging he raped and assaulted her in 2018.
- Hand received close to 250,000 euro in damages, while McGregor was required to cover approximately 1.3 million euro in legal expenses following the November trial, highlighting the final judgment of the case.
- The election for Ireland's largely symbolic presidency is scheduled before November 11, when Michael D Higgins concludes his current term, with two candidates already nominated and additional hopefuls, including McGregor, attempting to qualify for the ballot.
